But JS development requires more stuff like autocompletion (intelli-sense in MS-speak), JSLint, profiler, minifier, and many more.

I find that while IDE features are nice, they usually break down when you do anything of interest. with vim I can write custom plugins for whatever I need using vimscript.

Most IDE's get some things right but then fail to include others. Worse, I've now been writing with jQuery for a few years, and I've never found an IDE that comes close. Most of the time I'm writing web sites with PHP now, so I use PDT (a.k.a. Eclipse) and just sort of deal with how it shows me HTML and Javascript. Once in a while I try a new one, but am never happy.
