Can anyone recommend a development system for HTML5 and Javascript? What do people use? Be nice if it was free :-)

I've tried Notepad++ but there's no intellisense.
I've tried VS2010 but the intellisense is not complete, and MS are way behind the HTML5 standard.
There has to be something better.

Intellisense is overkill for HTML & JS but if you really want it look at Komodo IDE that was the only one I found which had decent speed or you could try Aptana but its been a long time since i've used that.

Personally I use SublimeText 2 and Zen Coding and if you really need intellisense there is a plugin for Sublime Text 2 which pulls in Komodo's stuff but I find it over kill.
 
If you have to have an IDE then you could look at Adobe Edge (Beta but free for now) or Aptana Studio (Free)

TBH - IDE's don't add a lot of value to web dev stuff in my experience unless Flash is your bag.
 
Notepad++ with zen is pretty good as is netbeans, but that might be a bit of overkill. Aptana might also be worth a look.

I have looked at sublime but couldn't get the zen plugin as the Google repository says it's private now! Could you post a link to the plugin please?

p.s sorry for the threadjack
