I agree with Ramen -- use Firebug. It's a delightful plugin to Firefox for all kinds of things.

jQuery is also not just a place to get great screen widgets, unlike many other Javascript libraries out there. No, instead, it's a simple yet extremely powerful set of routines to select and manipulate page elements, as well as react to events, and also to add effects fairly easily. Also, unlike other libraries out there, jQuery's main developer is one of the developers at the Mozilla Corp: John Resig. Talk about some good backing.

If you're willing to relax your definition of IDE a bit, I highly recommend FireBug as a jQuery development environment.

@Jake
Generally speaking I just use Notepad++ when I'm coding JS - I just use it for the syntax highlighting and the script outline.

I have recently started playing around with VS 2008 as well though and I am impressed with the code completion (or whatever .NET calls it...). Unfortunately I'm not aware of any end-all IDE for jQuery development though.

Yo, what up. What IDE do you use for jQuery? I looked up Visual Studio 2008's support for jQuery and it seems kind of lacking.

I'm with you, jQuery in my opinion it's the best JS library out there when working with the DOM and CSS, it just feels right and you can do so much with so little. I'm a Java developer by title and have the same tendencies to deviate to the client side and when I do I want jQuery with me. It's good to see there's strong following out there. Thanks for the analysis.
