This is great news for the Appcelerator guys, but I've gotten so used to writing Titanium apps in TextMate, that I'm not sure I'd really need a dedicated IDE!

Still happy for the company though.

Just to make the point clear they said in the conference call today that they have no intention of forcing anyone to use an IDE and people using TextMate can go on doing so without interruption.

Same. No particular need for an IDE personally, but I'm glad Appcelerator is doing well.

I would absolutely love to see titanium support and great javascript integration in aptana studio.

I love both these companies products, I just hope they don't nerf pydev or radrails in the process :/

It would be great if this shortened the wait for a Titanium JS debugger...

This should be awesome. I really enjoy Appcelerator's Titanium dev kit and I think it will really come to life with its own IDE/editor. Congrats to both companies it's a great buy.

Cool. Those are both good products. Heaven forbid, an acquisition that actually makes sense!

Good news. Titanium has always been missing a default IDE/editor.
