Hi,

Is Extended script toolkit the only tool to run and debug scripts I create for PS?

Are there any addons to it or enhancements?

I compare it to other programming environment and it lacks any features.

e.g. search and code highlight is limited, no option to trace variables, no conditional break points etc.

While it's possible to use a variety of code editors (Atom, Sublime, Brackets) and related plugins to run scripts skipping ESTK, the official, recommended environment is now Visual Studio Code, see ExtendScript Debugger for Visual Studio Code Public Release the public release, and the ExtendScript Debugger 1.1.0 Released.

Download page ExtendScript Debugger.

There are many programs that can be used, unfortunately, I don't know their names. I do know that many programmers prefer some of the other programs. Davide Barranca​ knows a lot of them.
