Are there any good recommendations anyone can provide for a good Javascript editor on Windows?
I currently use combinations of FireBug and TextPad but would hate to miss out on the party if there are better options out there.
Thanks.

Sublime Text and Visual Studio Code are tops among JavaScript editors—Sublime Text for its speed as much as its convenient editing features, and Visual Studio Code for even better features and speed that is almost as good.
Yes of course! Notepad++ is a very good text editor, especially for web languages. You can also try Sublime Text 3, especially for JS, as it is very lightweight and elegant.
To edit JavaScript source code, you need a plain text editor such as Notepad on Windows. However, to simplify and speed up typing of JavaScript code, you need a JavaScript code editor.
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.
I know jsight already mentioned this, but Aptana Studio really is a great, free editor for JavaScript if you find yourself doing a lot of work with it - it has great support for most of the well-known libraries. If it were not for the fact that I work with C# in addition to JavaScript, I would use Aptana for all of my work.

I use NotePad++ and am happy (of course, that is when I am not using Visual Studio).
NotePad++ contains support for intellisense type feature as well.
