You can use WebMatrix to develop sites using non-Microsoft technologies such as PHP and Node. It has built-in PHP code completion and offers some PHP templates. It has the same features in support of Nodejs development. It also includes a Nuget client to make it easy to download jQuery into your site and it's default templates are HTML5.

Visual Studio does not offer any official PHP or Nodejs support. There is an extension that offers some kind of support for Nodejs.
