its expensive but it works great
especially if you use SDF plugin
so if you edit the templates often and many of them it will pay back fast. Especially because it is very natural to save everything in version control from there just like scripts.

I use webstorm now, but the syntax highlighting and features missing from it for templates is starting to get to me

All said, a complete devtools subscription is only like $200/yr IIRC

as you use webstorm now, if you work with templates often you are not going to regret the money definetly.
