Best IDE for javascript server development

After reading http://www.pragprog.com/magazines/2010-03/javascript-its-not-just-for-browsers-any-more im wondering which is the best IDE to develop server-side javascript applications?

I want a nice development environment with commonjs and node etc. Preferebly windows but anything is interesting really. Is there any IDE with some nifty refactoring tools, maybe some intellisense-like function, etc etc.. Or is it notepad++ ftw?

I use Aptana 1.5 its very similar to eclipse which I use @ my work every day

1 vote for saying what I was going to say :-) though aptana studio 2.0 is even better

Does Aptana actually have navigation/code assist that works? When I looked at it, it couldn't look inside functions. Since many frameworks are using self-executing anonymous functions, being unable to look inside them is a serious limitation

@Sean McMillan yes it does have home navigation and code assist
