Is there an IDE with explicit support for AngularJS?
JavascriptIdeAngularjsJavascript Problem Overview
I've tried WebStorm but there only seems to be a basic JavaScript support there, like in any other web IDE I have tried. I'm looking for something that would allow me to click-through from HTML pages to Controllers etc.
If the answer is "no" to this question, is there any other JavaScript framework similar to Angular that would have something like an Eclipse plugin or any other kind of explicit support in some IDE?

John Lindquist says he'll make a plugin for WebStorm: http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-84299

Visual Studio 2012 by far is the best. This tutorial uses VS 2012 and was very helpful for me. There is also an Express version that is free.
The tutorial helps you get started from ground up without the need to rely on plugins.

AngularUI have written plugins that offer full AngularJS (and optionally AngularUI) IDE support for Sublime Text 2 & 3 and TextMate text editors.

TextMate - https://github.com/angular-ui/AngularJS.tmbundle
You can get a complete setup guide for Sublime Text here (you'll be up and running in 5 mins tops):

When I'm developing early proof of concepts apps, I like to use DropBox to store my code so I can get access to everything at work and at home. Plus if you store your project in the Public folder, you can generate a publicly accessible url for your .html pages which will correctly render in the brower (i.e. correctly run your HTML, CSS & JS), essentially turning DropBox into a sort of limited hosting provider.
If you decide to use Sublime, you can download the portable version (no install required) & save that to DropBox too; this way you have access to all your code AND a full AngularJS IDE from wherever you use DropBox. Which basically means you have a full dev environment in the cloud. Pretty sweet!

There is now a Resharper plugin for angularjs which means if you use resharper then Visual Studio becomes a great way to develop Angular too.

Also there is a debugging addon for chrome now:
