Aptana Alternatives

Question

I am looking for javascript/css editors that are a good alternative to using aptana.

The following are features I care about:

1) "learning-based" auto-complete within the file. Aptana does not necessarily know what all possible auto-complete values are, but it tries to guess based on references in the file.

2) auto-complete for css. A very big feature for me.

3) An integrated JSLint or something similar.

4) The ability to specify jslint header comments in a file. Basically I can indicate which objects, functions, etc are global so that they don't throw unused reference errors when used. This is big because my SSJS framework has a few globally injected functions that we need for things like included files. And I want JSLint to report useful errors vs a bunch of noise.

Anyone know of any decent editor that does this?

As a side note: I use windows/linux not mac. So please constraint on that.

With a dynamic language like js you're probably not going to do much better on auto-complete than textmate / e. There's a reason so many web developers use it. But you're just never really going to get good auto-complete with a dynamic language.

Try Ctrl+Space on Jetbrains Web IDE http://www.jetbrains.com/webide/ in a css file. It can also refactor CSS (Alt+Enter), such, as expand CSS shorthand or optimize expanded CSS to shorthand. IntelliJ CSS auto completion is also awesome if you are working on Java related project.
