Here I would like to answer your question in different way. If your  
problem area is only of highlighting syntax then instead of finding new or  
better IDE, you can try to "tweak" existing IDE so that it will start  
highlighting required missing keywords, functions, properties. If you are  
on Linux machine then most of IDEs are smart enough that they can be  
configured the way we want. For example we use "Quanta editor" (sometimes  
known as "kdewebdev") on Fedora 4 in which you can add your custom  
entities to be highlighted if existing database of entities is not  
highlighting everything. In case of Java-Script there resides a file  
called "/usr/share/apps/katepart/syntax/javascript.xml" which you can  
easily edit and add custom entities (even user-defined ones :) ) to  
highlight them. Not just JavaScript but you can configure highlighting  
entities of almost all supported types of that IDE. Just browse directory  
"/usr/share/apps/katepart/syntax/".

This answer might not be useful to you, but can be for others if they  
can't easily switch to different IDEs.

Thanks

Zala
