javascript IDE or visual studio alternatives maintain experience and quality of coding

i am a beginner in asp.net, and in a stage where most of my approach / implementation is moving more and more to using javascript and jQuery ... ajax all those J's family members , as opposed to coding server side C# ( which i really like working with)

as i have learned lately that if you are not using JavaScript often ,in your application it means you are not really building an application(web) ..atleast not a good one , as client side coding has it's way to simply be charming doing almost every thing i used to do , with c# . and it started from the full page postback issue i learned how to avoid by using $ajax , then got to know jQuery +jQueryUI... etc

My question is What could i use as an alternative to Vs , a suitable IDE or way to develop application besides use of Notepad++ (mentioned in a chat when i was asking about that question ) but an IDE , that will pay better attention to the existence of the javascript like the ExpressionWeb does better with Css for instance

If you're willing to pay for a commercial IDE, I'd go with WebStorm. In my experience, it has very good autocompletion and a complete feature set.

Take a look at Komodo Edit from Activestate. It actually parses your javascript files to generate things like tooltips, autocompletion etc. On top of that it actually comes with built-in database that understands jQuery and other popular javascript libraries.

It's also one of the best editors for mixed-language files like html and shell scripts. The commercial Komodo IDE has more features but the free Komodo Edit generally does everything a web developer needs.
