Use whatever you like - I think notepad++ is acceptable as anything that can highlight your code and do some basic completion is. Your main working area will probably be browser anyway.

It all really comes down to personal preference...

I've been using Komodo IDE for a while, I quite like it, but there a few you might like to try:

- Komodo Edit
- Aptana Studio
- JetBrains WebStorm

Picking an editor is a bit like picking a car, you try to find one that looks good and has everything under the hood that you need, ultimately though you should test drive a few to make sure you pick the right one. (Except it's a lot easier to switch if you're not happy with your initial choice )

Pretty sure all of those will handle multiple languages quite well.
