PowerShell Plus

A list of code editors or extensions/plugins that support PowerShell — exclusively or with other languages, whether Desktop, Core, or both. Also, a small number of noteworthy form-building modules. The only real requirement is that the editors listed have, at minimum, PowerShell syntax highlighting & code folding out of the box. Anything further, debugging, some level of auto-complete (whether real-time and context sensitive or based on a predefined list of keywords), module and help creation, snippets, graphical tools, form designer, etc. are optional but preferred. A great resource — albeit not updated often enough, and which has more than a couple dead links or outdated resources — is the Awesome PowerShell list @ https://github.com/janikvonrotz/awesome-powershell The rough sorting is editors with 1st-class PowerShell support — i.e. editors that are either primarily built around PowerShell, or which support PowerShell with true IntelliSense-like code completion, whether natively or via an extension or plugin. Secondary is their depth and breadth of support. Third is their status — are they abandoned, or currently being developed and supported? For instance, I'd put Notepad++ above PowerGUI, even though the latter is fully meant for PowerShell, as despite Notepad++'s lack of true PowerShell support in any way beyond syntax highlighting and manual function definition lists for auto-complete, PowerGUI is far too outdated to be considered a viable option, and is more of a curiosity that you can still run... for now. Same goes for ISE, despite not being updated since TechNet was discontinued, but as it's a 1st-class product developed by Microsoft and despite many addons no longer working (at least without some searching and manual activation), it's a much more viable option in my opinion than Notepad++, unless you don't need features like IntelliSense, smart auto-completion, and the like. Your mileage may vary.
