Sublime Text 2 is a great cross-platform editor for building node-webkit apps, you can download it here:
###Mac OS X
Download node-webkit.app and place it in /Applications folder
From the Sublime Text 2 menu select Tools -> Build System -> New Build System
Enter the following code:
{
    "cmd": ["node-webkit", "--enable-logging", "${project_path:${file_path}}"],
    "working_dir": "${project_path:${file_path}}",
    "path": "/Applications/node-webkit.app/Contents/MacOS/"
}

Open a new window in Sublime Text 2 using File -> New Window
Add your project to the window using Project -> Add Folder to Project...
Open your main package.json from the left side menu and select Tools -> Build
At this point node-webkit application will launch with your project and you will be able to see the debugging output in Sublime Text 2
Work the same with Sublime Text 3.
###Windows
As above, but the commands for the build system are as follows (replacing the path with the location of nw.exe):
{
    "cmd": ["nw.exe", "--enable-logging", "${project_path:${file_path}}"],
    "working_dir": "${project_path:${file_path}}",
    "path": "C:/Tools/node-webkit/",
    "shell": true
}
