Are there alternatives to Apples Script Editor?
Yes, there are alternative editors which differ from Script Editor in various ways. The good sides are mainly a higher functionality and better debugging features. But it usually comes for a price. Apple’s Script Editor itself is installed by default whenever you install your MacOS. It lacks find-and-replace, drag-and-drop, and has a 32k limit when it comes to the maximum size of uncompiled scripts. It has a simple event window and a result window for debugging.
