I use Aptana and enjoy it. I get automatic updates periodically, last one was within the last couple months I think. Tried sublime 2, I couldn't find any good highlight themes, no printing support (then again Apatan's printing is not great on linux, i usually copy/paste to gedit or something that prints decent) I like Aptana's editor, easier highlight theme modification, catches some syntax errors, and flag files in the project tree that have issues, pop up references to functions in your project (ala PHP documentor?) and used veriable in your code, highlights open and close pairs when cursor is next to them. I'd say try it out, only takes up space in your home folder, and if you don't like it you can just delete it.

I use Aptana too. Yes, I've seen updates from them. It's the best Javascript IDE I've found, but that's not saying much. I guess JS is just too hard for IDEs to autocomplete all the time. Aside from that, Aptana does a nice job on things like syntax coloring and formatting. I used to be nutty about finding a good JS IDE but then I realized that Java IDEs became so good simply because Java was so hard to write (without stupid syntax errors and climbing through enormous and complicated frameworks like Spring).
