JetBrains PHPStorm has built-in support for LESS :)

I just tried Crunch and I like it.
It has syntax highlighting (but no intellisense) and can save as .css.

It requires Adobe AIR.

Sublime Text. It's good lightweight editor.

You can use Komodo IDE or Edit for this purpose. It has an add-on named LESS

You could use Netbeans plugin for LESS.

In Netbeans 6.9: tools-> Available Plugins-> LessCSS Module

Version: 1.0.6 Source: Plugin Portal
Plugin Description This module is to allow for tighter integration of netbeans with LessCSS (using the LessPHP standard).

Eclipse does not support .less fully (nested rules, single line comments, etc) but you can at least configure it so that it would open .less files and treat them as .css.

Preferences > General > Content Types: find "CSS" entry and add .less extension.

Then, Preferences > General > Editors > File Assoc: add .less extension and associate with CSS editor.

Better than nothing, especially if you're into Eclipse world ;)
