Is there a good javascript plugin for visual studio?

Viewed 19222

I think that Visual Studio's biggest let down is the Javascript editor. I have been told to use Aptana as an editor for my javascript files, but I would prefer to stick with visual studio if possible.

I have read other similar plugin posts, but none focus specifically on Javascript.

VS2010 may offer some improvements, but will they be up to Apatana standards? I have briefly tested the beta, but I'm not overly impressed.

Is there anything out there that will bring Javascript closer to c# development? Considering the wide spread use of Javascript I think there must be something....... I hope! :)

Many thanks in advance... this is something that has always bugged me!

If you use Visual Studio, add the

 /// <reference path="myOtherJsFile.js" /> 

directive at top of your js files and install Web Essentials you get pretty decent (but not perfect) intellisense, go to definition by using F12 and find all references (sort of..) by using SHIFT+F12
