What do you guys feel is the best free option available. I just tried sitepad pro and textpad and I'm fairly unimpressed.
 
I don't think you will get intellisense with any free editor. I typically use Gvim ( If you haven't used Vi before, the learning curve can be steep, but IMO it is worth it. Excellent syntaxt highlighting and highly customizeable.

Recently, I started using Adersoft's VBSEdit and JSEdit. It costs $30 for both, and if you have some experience with scripting, it helps (color-coding). However, it does come with built in scripting for WMI.
 
Yea, intellisense is nice a nice feature, but not something you'll get for free.

I'll check out vim.org and the non-free(but cheap) suggestions also.

I heard PrimalScript is great, but that is about $180.

Does visual studio.net support VBScripting w/ intellisense?
 
PrimalScript is okay, but I have found that Adersoft does the same thing as PrimalScript at a cheaper price. I haven't played with visual studio.net because it isn't cheap too, so can't tell you.
 
HAPedit (currently at version 3.1) is a free editor, do a web search. I think it's written in France, but has several languages including English of course.

Read many other suggestions in thread333-522942 where a similar question was asked.
