The best IDE for javascript

    I currently use Visual Studio for javascript development, which is pretty good and helps because it integrates well with the rest of my server-side code. But I would like to find something better and more specific to javascript. Is there any other good javascript-specific IDE's available? Which one is the best? I like to have the intellisense(auto-complete) feature and debugging available. Automatic code highlighting and indentation is a given.
    Any suggestions...

    Yeah, it seems okay for making quick alterations to scripts, rather than notepad. I noticed the autocomplete isn't specific to the current object, but it still helps... Thanks for the suggestion.

    The best javascript editor is Aptana. There is code complete, highlight, documentation etc.

    +1 for Aptana. It is the best IDE for any web development scripting.

    To be honest, I keep a cheat sheet nearby, also a jquery cheat sheet and just use gedit on linux. No bells and whistles, but syntax highlighting for whatever language you can think of which is nice because I do the client side stuff in JS and the server side stuff in PHP.
