Really Simple Javascript IDE

[Stretch]

A friend of a friend is trying to learn a bit of client side scripting, and is having trouble with simple syntax errors.

Can anyone recommend a simple IDE with syntax checking. I've had a look at Notepad++ with JSLint, but the number of non error warnings is OTT for a beginner.

I'm just after something that will spot missing brackets, commas, semicolons and the like.

Intellisense would be a bonus too.

I've tried a couple of the suggestions Sublime Text and Atom. Atom looks nice, but I can't seem to get them to pick up on simple javascript syntax errors. Is this something I need to enable?

Hmm. I have tried JSLine with Notepad++ before posting.

Unfortunately, it seems to highlight a whole range of problems which aren't critical. Formatting problems, and "undefined variable" errors for things as simple as "document", or "$". It's going to be very frustrating for someone trying to learn. Most of the tutorial/sample code online will throw up 100's of errors for perfectly valid code.

Maybe he'll have to stick with browser based debugging, but it's very backward for 2015.
