Aptana Studio Aptana Studio is a full-blown web development IDE; however, it does not support development for the .NET platform (at least as of 4/26/2008) but it serves as an awesome JavaScript intellisense editor (even better than the new Visual Studio 2008 in my opinion). What I really like about Aptana is that it has a right menu panel that lists all of the JavaScript functions that are in the current JavaScript file you are editing, much like the drop down list at the top of the code editor in Visual Studios, and if you click on a function from within the list, it places your cursor in the start of the function in the JavaScript file your editing, which is very useful if your editing a rather larger JavaScript file.

Like I state above, Aptana is a full-blown web development IDE that currently supports development on the following platforms via plug-ins: Rudy-on-RAILS, Adobe’s AIR, PHP and IPhone. The community edition is FREE and supports the JavaScript editing features stated above, the Pro edition adds support for a JSON and XML editor, Ruby performance profiler and other non .NET related features. http://www.aptana.com/
