IDE with syntax highlight support for LESS - syntax-highlighting

Is there any IDE with syntax highlight support for LESS?

Eclipse does not support .less fully (nested rules, single line comments, etc) but you can at least configure it so that it would open .less files and treat them as .css.
Preferences > General > Content Types:
find "CSS" entry and add .less extension.
Then, Preferences > General > Editors > File Assoc:
add .less extension and associate with CSS editor.
Better than nothing, especially if you're into Eclipse world ;)

JetBrains PHPStorm has built-in support for LESS :)

You could use Netbeans plugin for LESS.
In Netbeans 6.9:
tools-> Available Plugins-> LessCSS Module
Version: 1.0.6 Source: Plugin Portal
Plugin Description
This module is to allow for tighter integration of netbeans with LessCSS (using the LessPHP standard).

Sublime Text. It's good lightweight editor.

If you use Textmate there is a syntax highlighting bundle for LESS:
https://github.com/appden/less.tmbundle

Here is an Eclipse plugin for LESS : http://www.normalesup.org/~simonet/soft/ow/eclipse-less.fr.html

Syntax highlighting for LESS is included in the newest version of rails.vim.

You can use Komodo IDE or Edit for this purpose. It has an add-on named LESS

I just tried Crunch and I like it.It has syntax highlighting (but no intellisense) and can save as .css.
It requires Adobe AIR.

Does Cloud9 support Python’s Mako Templating filetype?

I recently started trying out cloud9 IDE. My project relies on Python's Mako Templating. Before this, I use Atom Editor, which has a module to highlight syntax of Mako. When I imported the .mako files to Cloud9, however, it doesn't seem to be highlighted at all. Is there a way to fix this? Thanks.
Cloud9 does not currently support .mako file highlighting.
Note: If you're interested in implementing highlighting for a certain syntax/language, you can have a look at the Ace documentation about this (Cloud9 uses the Ace editor) or the Cloud9 SDK documentation.

How to get a ruby syntax highlighting in IntelliJ IDEA Community 12

I know that there is no "official" support from Jetbrains. How can I workaround this?
I just need a syntax highlighting level of support for ruby.
Thanks in advance.
Follow the instructions in this blog post:
http://blog.jetbrains.com/idea/2010/09/custom-file-types-in-intellij-idea/
I've followed that process myself to setup custom syntax highlighting for both Velocity Template Language and JavaScript files, and am just about to do the same for Ruby.
Sure there is here an official technical support.
You can find ruby plugin for IntellJ IDEA here
Btw, first I thought you were using RubyMine, there you can set the auto-completion by going to File | Settings - IDE Settings - Editor - Code completion, so you could try to find what's up in this path for IntelliJ IDEA

Ruby On Rails and VIM

What is the best IDE plugin for VIM?
I'm looking for a VIM plugin that
is easy to use and install
supports auto-completion
supports jumping to method/class definitions
does not change the files of my Rails project (I'm co-working in a software project where not everybody uses VIM)
should be compatible with the latest Rails versions
Rails.vim is the best for now
https://github.com/tpope/vim-rails
http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1567
There's a few auto-completion-ish plug-ins around for vim, but probably the most straightforward one is just the built-in "keyword completion". It does not know any particular language, but if you use, eg, set complete=.,b,k, it will scan the current file (.), other loaded files (b), and any files set as dictionaries (use set dictionary=/some/file) for matches. Add that stuff to your .vimrc. To use completion, type a couple letters and hit ctrl-p in INSERT mode, you'll get a pop-up of cantidates. It's unobtrusive and easy to use. For more info on complete try :help E535.
WRT to class/method indexing, there's the taglist plugin:
http://vim-taglist.sourceforge.net/feature.html
Which will index a bunch of languages including ruby (nice if you are are working in js at the same time, etc). It will take about 30 seconds to figure out. Slightly more awkward to use in the pure ncurses version (ie, not gvim) if you can't use the mouse to switch windows.
Here is an info about how to use VIM as ror ide.

Moreover following plugins can be useful.
NERDTree
FuzzyFinder
snipMate

CoffeeScript editor for MacOS

Does anybody know a good text editor for Mac that supports syntax highlighting in CoffeeScript? Is it possible to do this in TextWrangler or BBEdit?
Cheers :)
On http://jashkenas.github.com/coffee-script/ there is a list of what is available.
For Emacs there is CoffeeScript Major Mode (Emacs for mac: http://aquamacs.org/)
For Vim there is Vim CoffeeScript (Vim for mac: http://code.google.com/p/macvim/)
For Textmate there is CoffeeScript TextMate Bundle (how noted by Trevor, this is maintained by CoffeeScript creator Jeremy Ashkenas. And how noted by Chocohound, it works on Sublime Text 2 too)
For Gedit there is gedit-coffeescript
For IntelliJ IDEA and RubyMine there is coffeescript-idea
I can find nothing for TextWrangler or BBEdit.
Edit:
The list moved to the wiki and now there is an attempt to make a BBEdit plugin too ;)
As mb21 said, you can find TextWrangler instructions here.
To highlight coffeescript in Eclipse:
Download
http://www.gstaff.org/colorEditor/cbg.editor_1.2.6.jar
Download https://raw.github.com/dhotson/coffeescript-jedit/master/coffeescript.xml
Open cbg.editor_1.2.6.jar with a zip editor.
Put coffeescript.xml into the cbg.editor_1.2.6.jar\modes directory
Edit cbg.editor_1.2.6.jar\modes\catalog (it's an XML file)
Add a line for Coffeescript:
<MODE NAME="coffee" FILE="coffeescript.xml"
FILE_NAME_GLOB="*.coffee" />
Save the .jar and put it into Eclipse's plugin directory. Restart Eclipse and .coffee files should now be highlighted.
WARNING: For some reason, this plugin's default colours are TERRIFYINGLY UNUSABLE. I recommend editing the colours to the attached first, before viewing any files. Honestly, just save yourself the heartache.
TextMate have good bundle:
TextMate bundle
RubyMine / IDEA have also good plugin (but this is IDE and is crossplatform):
Idea plugin
Espresso 2 has CoffeeScript.sugar
Aptana has it now in version 3.0.4, but due to a bug with control over tabs/spaces, you'll need to install the 3.0.5 beta.
This is the beta Eclipse update site: http://preview.appcelerator.com/aptana/studio3/plugin/update/beta/
I'm pretty happy with Aptana. In my opinion, the editors for css, scss, coffeescript, html, etc. are all better than the built-in eclipse editors for these languages.
Adobe Brackets has native CoffeeScript support and the 'Interactive Linter' extension (downloadable from within the app) will even lint it to some extent, tell you that your lines are too long and so on.
However, there is no comment/uncomment keyboard shortcut, which gets old fast and there are other bugs, as you'd expect with software in such hard-development.
Worth checking out, none-the-less.
Did you give Eclipse a try?
Here's a plist file for syntax highlighting, etc, for CoffeeScript in BBEdit:
