I'm an old Emacs user - I've used it for about 10years now. When I switched to Mac I started to use Aquamacs, which is great in many ways.

But now most my development work involves Node.js/Express.js (with JavaScript, Jade and Stylus). Unfortunately, emacs has many shortcomings in this regard. Especially when working remotely, with ExpanDrive and MacFUSE mounts.

And I really want real code folding.

Is there any editor which is really good for this? Even better is there any IDE for Mac (at all)?

Thanks

Sublime Text 2 is the choice of many. Add some packages to it with the package manager. Jade, stylus packages available.
