I think that Visual Studio's biggest let down is the Javascript editor. I have been told to use Aptana as an editor for my javascript files, but I would prefer to stick with visual studio if possible.
I have read other similar plugin posts, but none focus specifically on Javascript.
VS2010 may offer some improvements, but will they be up to Apatana standards? I have briefly tested the beta, but I'm not overly impressed.
Is there anything out there that will bring Javascript closer to c# development? Considering the wide spread use of Javascript I think there must be something....... I hope! :)
Many thanks in advance... this is something that has always bugged me!

Visual Studio provides an out of the box, first class debugging experience for JavaScript. Powerful features like source maps allow you to drop breakpoints directly in your code. Performance profilers make finding runtime memory bottlenecks trivial.
The JavaScript (ES6) code snippets extension adds snippets for ES6 (ECMAScript 6) syntax. Here is a small sampling of the snippets provided by this extension. See the extension's README to see the dozens of snippets this pack gives you. You can read more about JavaScript snippets in the VS Code documentation.
With your project open in Visual Studio, right-click on a folder or your project node in Solution Explorer (right pane), and choose Add > New Item. In the New File dialog box, under the General category, choose the file type that you want to add, such as JavaScript File, and then choose Open.
There's a couple recent plugins that may be helpful :
From Microsoft :
JScript Editor Extensions
JSEnhancements
(I wouldn't think installing both of these is a good idea - and the Microsoft plugin has more features so try that one first)
