The main problem I see is that to successfully debug javascript intended 
to run in a browser you need its VM and its DOM interface.

In my past life having to deal with the DOM representation each browser 
exposed was one of the greatest pain. Things may have changed.

That means there is no better environment than the browser itself and if 
you're referring to NetSurf browser it doesn't seem it offers any 
debugging facility.

I've heard the same thing about sysvinit <evil troll grin>.
