I'm looking to start using knockout. What is the best IDE when using knockout.js? Most of the literature mentions VS2010, is there a good free alternative?
I love Sublime Text 2 , it's multi-platform, super-easy and very configurable.
It's not free per se, but they let you try it out with no limitation for whatever time you want. The licenses are very cheap and you don't have to buy one for each O.S.
I prefer to use something simple like notepad++ for javascript. If you want something more then Eclipse offers a javascript version.
Cloud 9 IDE. I won't say it's the best, but it's a good option.
Cloud9 is a state-of-the-art IDE that runs in your browser and lives
in the cloud, allowing you to run, debug and deploy applications from
anywhere, anytime. A complete game-changer that will change the way we
develop applications forever.

I was told github has concatenation tool, rather I heard this at a tech event.
So if I have
file1.js
file2.js
...
It will concatenate them into
file_all.js
Is there a web interface for this? ( at www.github.com )
I want to be efficient and not copy paste this by hand.
I don't need anything complicated, just something that will do this automatically.
Use grunt. It has become an extremely popular tool. It may take a little while for you to set it up but it was designed to automate tasks such as uglifying (concatenating and minifying JS files).
You want to automate your workflow? Go with maven and this package of tools for JS developers http://mojo.codehaus.org/javascript-maven-tools/

I would like to allow powerusers to perform certain actions on the site in a command-line like interface (think Quake console that slides in from above ;-). Is there a library that already implements the basics of what I need in the browser? Tasks like getting the input from the user, command history etc. Me and my colleagues will have limited time to implement this during a hackathon, so we want to have as much time as possible to implement the actual commands interfacing with our app.
Have a look at Josh.js for a bash-like environment in the browser:

Of course there is also the excellent termlib found here.

I've used Backbone.js, I've learned about Knockout.js; however, now I found out about Knockback.js. It is supposed to get the best out of the other two tried& proven frameworks.
Do you have any experience with Knockback in production? I'm wary to use it since it doesn't seem to be mature enough.
I've been using Knockback on a large multi-module project with good results. The docs and examples are unnecessarily complex, so I wrote a blog describing Knockback with some very simple examples and a JSFiddle to get you started.

Feedback is most welcome!
I wouldn't use it yet. It's hard enough to get corporate buy in on knockoutJS.
I guess it all has to do with the size of your company, the willingness to support alpha / beta / volatile open source projects.
It is the nature of the beast, this bleeding edge of innovation. Skating that thin ice of unsuportability.

Is VS2010 support for Javascript & jQuery make it a good IDE for JS/HTML5? or are there better options?
I'm writing the server side in .Net, and that's why this is my default choice usually. if VS is not the best IDE for that - using two different IDEs won't be irritating ?
PHPStorm/WebStorm: http://www.jetbrains.com/index.html
HTML5 Support: http://blogs.jetbrains.com/webide/tag/html5/
Much faster and more fluid than anything else I have used. The only hangup is that the shortcuts are not consistent with Windows defaults (they are consistent with Mac's defaults).
The autocompletetion is fantastic and incredibly quick even for large JS/PHP projects.
Visual Studio 2010 SP1 added additional support for HTML 5.
I'm a fan of Aptana -- It now supports html5. It's an extension of the eclipse framework and it's a nice IDE for most things web related.

Although it's not a full featured IDE I'm a fan of Notepad++ with JSLint plugin.

Has any one used this? I don't have a large background in Javascript and this lib looks like it may speed things along.
www.pyjs.org
yep. me. i'm the lead developer. drop by on groups.google.com "pyjamas-dev" and say hello.
Yes, I've used. It's amazing! I think it's much easier to use than the Java-based GWT. I found the Google Code wiki on it very practical: http://code.google.com/p/pyjamas/w/list
If you're just starting out with it, then definitely check out the showcase: http://pyjs.org/showcase/Showcase.html for usable snippets/widgets
As of now, it is not supported on M$ Windows, but runs beautifully on Linux.
yes it works fine on windows (it's a compiler: you just need python, to run the conversion to javascript). but if you're thinking of pyjamas-desktop, 0.6 added support for MSHTML as one of the engines, so that works too.
Yes. I've used pyjs to build minesweeper game: http://pymines.appspot.com/
