Oh, I just noticed this. It says that the author of ecmascript-mode.el
recommends javascript.el, so that makes the decision much easier. I will
contact Karl.

I think the Mewde/spidermonkey connection code is probably out of scope
of Emacs. In my opinion MozRepl[1] is a much nicer implementation of the
same idea, but it definitely does not belong in Emacs. The speedbar
integration could be nice, but I don't personally use speedbar and am
probably not qualified to comment.

javascript.el, but that's probably not worth investigating until we hear
back from Karl.
