I think this suggestion is better than my last 2 :-)

I am so far using editplus.com as my editor of choice. I tried JetBrains IntelliJ, JetBrains webstorm and sublime text 2. (fyi... I am on windows). Sticking with editplus for now as I have been using it for 10+ years and it just still feels right.

I have simple user commands setup (much like sublime, textmate):
CTRL-SHIFT
'c' : compile the open file to .js
's' : compile the coffee script file (coffee -p) to js and captures the output to a window in editplus
'w' : start a watch on a file and keep running it when I hit save.... captures output to a window in editplus
'r' : run the current file once and capture output to a window in editplus

It would be great to change my 's' (or create a new one) so that I can just run the CoffeeScriptLineMatcher as a command line and pass in the coffeescript file and have it dump (to a file or stdout) a pretty print text format of the compared source. Then I can suck this into the output window of my editor and never have to leave to the browser.

If you don't want to integrate compile etc commands into the web interface (agreed!), let me integrate the CoffeeScriptLineMatcher into my editor :-)
