HTML 5 Tools

Question

Everyone says the flash is dead, the silver light is dead, and the future is HTML 5. Most of the technical people I spoke with seem to think this is a common fact. It’s just a matter of when the specification is completed, and when each major browser will finally include all the individual features. But it seems to me that there is a big elephant in this room: where are the tools?

• Flash Perhaps this is the solution, but he had one hell of a designer. He had drawing tools, layers, timeline support, twining, etc. This created a rich user interface and animation REALLY EASY, therefore, everywhere. Without a flash, I assume we are turning to the canvas? Can't we plan to run our entire user interface in code? Where is my "Canvas Studio MX"?
• Video. Therefore, we agreed on a completely open / free format with ogg vorbis. Cute. Is there a good set of open source libraries for converting / creating an ogg file?
• Javascript If we jump aboard the HTML5 bus, do we almost all agree that the engine only runs on Javascript? Is there a really effective JS IDE? Notepad ++ is good, but is there something that can refactor a really huge application, not PITA? And here I mean the fact that JS is dynamically typed, and therefore today it seems very difficult to get A) Intellisense and B) Refactoring support (rename method, get link graph, etc.). Either we need to change the language, or we need a really smart editor.

I may have raved here, but by profession I am a web developer, and I would like to LOVE to get away from proprietary compilers and state-of-the-art confusing “super-tools” that cause more problems that they fix. But these moments seem to me real problems, and I am surprised that they do not receive more attention. Or maybe they are, and if so, please feel free to show me the light :)

Answer 1

I agree that some tools are currently missing, and as PatrickS notes, it depends on your perspective and what you use too.

Javascript: There is no shortage of IDE places where you can use Javascript. Of course, you can use Notepad if you want, or Eclipse, TextMate, etc. I see the editor as an aid, not a dependency, in code refactoring. JS has its problems, but to date it has proven (again, only my opinion) that he can offer more to compensate for this.
