Cross Platform Open Source (Javascript, HTML, CSS) IDE

Ran across a very nice plugin for Eclipse over the holiday break named Aptana. I already had the latest version of Eclipse installed so I just installed it as a plugin. Did a quick test using the Yahoo! User Interface (YUI) library to do a quick and dirty AJAX page that automatically updated weather info (from Yahoo Weather rss feeds).

I had been searching for a good open source tool to aid in developing xhtml/css/javascript pages and was mainly interested in command completion/suggestion. This one was the best of all I checked out. The code assist features worked great and I found the help features to be great, especially when dealing with css/javascript. I didn't try out the javascript debugger.
