> node.js requires that you use the browser for debugging
wat? :/
Node.js does not require you to use the browser for debugging. But you're probably referring to node-inspector, which uses Chrome or Opera. I personally find webstorm to be wayyy easier debugging node unit tests specifically.
Since debugging is over a TCP connection, you only have to start the nodejs process with the debug flag, and then plug the address and port into whatever debugger you're trying to use.
