don't know if this threat is still up-to-date but I would like to share some experiences I recently made with MelonJS (I will introduce my project here in the near future as well).
MelonJS is "a lightweight but yet powerful HTML5 framework designed from the ground up to provide a true plugin-free 'write-once, run-everywhere' gaming oriented library".
It was easy to learn and works with the so called "Tiled map editor" which makes it very easy and fast to create game levels in a WYSIWYG manner based on 2D sprites.
MelonJS is free and open source and (what is really important in my opinion) it is well documented. Furthermore I made the experience that there is a nice community. I was able to find a solution to every problem I ran into without too much effort.
As far as I could check, games run stable in all modern browsers (tested on Windows, Ubuntu, Android) without any problems, which conforms to the official statements.
As "IDE" I use Atom, an open source text editor, that is commonly used in web development. It provides a nice and clear interface and a lot of useful functionality. If you are missing something you can easily extend it by adding plugins or different themes.
I just encountered the same problem when creating a new topic at the Show off your project! section.
I found out that the problem was triggered by the use of a special character: `

Hi, I am also waiting for approval for a very long time now ;) Thank you!
