Aptana (www.aptana.com) is what I currently use for JS/GM editing. It
offers warnings and errors on syntax errors and unsafe operations. It
doesn't yet support auto-formatting, but I imagine it will in the near
future, as it is built on top of Eclipse (a Java IDE that offers
auto-formatting as well as hundreds of other features that are
applicable to JS editing).
