People seem to use emacs, vi, TextMate, Sublime Text, Light Table, etc. to do Julia editing. The lack of a debugger that doesn't require source code modification like Debug.jl does is certainly an issue and a lot of progress has been made on that front over the summer. There are still a few outstanding issues in the way of the debugger, but it's getting close.
