Javascripting Tools?

I'm asking because some of my scripts are reaching 4000 lines, and notepad and firebug can only go so far. I've tried some others, but Aptana and JSEclipse left me cold. Both seemed awfully slow for the feature set they were offering.

I'd really like something with the equivalent of intellisense from VS for javascript. I understand that's asking for a bit much, but there has got to be something along these lines out there - real pros don't code in notepad.
 
Vim > Emacs > any editor created.

There is of course a steep learning curve, but once you get past that you won't go back to anything else, and if you do you'll only get pissed off at how slow normal text editors are.
 
I remember reading about a cool little JavaScript editor a while back... I'll try to scrounge up the link. In the meantime, 4000 line JS apps would scare the shit out of me. First thing I do when writing JavaScript is look for a library to leverage like YUI, Prototype and JQuery.

Maintaining all that JavaScript has to be a pain in the ass.
 
I use Dreamweaver. No auto-complete for functions for Javascript, but it does have very nice code highlighting and is great for maintaining projects.
