What is the best open source/free HTML5/CSS3/JavaScript IDE?
Thank you!!!

Most of the time when I write code I am programming C# applications using Visual Studio, which is my favorite IDE. However, when it comes to Javascript VS is quite poor. It does not support collapse to definitions (AKA code folding in other IDEs / editors), does not support code outlining and also has a very primitive and most of the times useless autocomplete.
Because of that, at some point I have started to search alternative tools for JS programming and the best I came across was Aptana Studio. It also has support for HTML and CSS (as well as for some server side languages like Ruby, PHP, Phyton), but I have only used it for JS and that is an area where it shines. It has very good code outlining and one of the best autocomplete implementations I have ever seen for Javascript (even thought it is still improvable).
Aptana Studio is based Eclipse and is available as a plugin or as a full package version. On their site they are saying that the next version is going to totally independent from Eclipse, which would make it a lot more light weight and more performant. However, the current Beta version of Aptana Studio 3 is still based on Eclipse.
You can find more on Aptana Studio 3 on the official page: http://aptana.com/products/studio3

(G)Vim of course. While it might look spartanic at first, it's extremely powerful once you've become familiar with the way it works.

The answers are likely to be subjective, but here are some choices:
KompoZer
Aptana
Amaya
Here are the links: KompoZer, Aptana, Amaya.
This also may help: an extensive comparison of HTML Editors.

I use Komodo Edit. The latest version has code completion for HTML5 and CSS3, the JavaScript code completion can be adjusted depending on which JS libraries you use (eg. jQuery, prototype, YUI).

Free and open-source? - NetBeans.

There is Sublime Text 2 http://www.sublimetext.com/2 after few years with Aptana... I enjoy using it.

Javascript seems to become popular as an implementation language for other programming languages.
The article
Lightweight compilation of (C)LP to JavaScript. ICLP 2012
drew my attention on this.
There are a lot of proof-of-concept prototypes for Prolog systems written in Javascript around on the Web.
What are current, actively maintained, preferably ISO conforming Prolog systems written in Javascript?
The only Prolog in JavaScript I know is YieldProlog, but I haven't tried it extensively, just the code available in QueryEditor.
I was hoping than using the yield construct it was lightweight (I used extensively such construct in C#, and I found it - paired to lambda - rather powerful).
But when I inspected (summarily) the source, I found it really complex, despite the assumptions.
edit
I've found recently these contributions, that seem really interesting:
proscript and proscript2.
edit
a new implementation available:
Tau Prolog, brought to my attention from Jan on SWI mailing list
edit
Something new, hhprolog, a pure Prolog engine, based on code and documentation provided by Paul Tarau, ported by me to Javascript. So, available in both browsers and NodeJS.
The project is still preliminary, mostly needed is to bootstrap to interpreter: right now (pre)compiling Prolog to the (novel) virtual machine must be accomplished with SWI-Prolog installed, properly configured (JPL needed).
To implement such bootstrapping, I would probably need to implement negation, to reuse Paul' interface, or - better - attempt to implement something staying in the pure paradigm. In particular, only unbounded integer arithmetic (again by Paul Tarau, there is some Python code available - I will try lazily to port to Javascript).

I want to learn JavaScript. For this recently I had purchased a book named “JavaScript The Good Parts” from OReilly’s. Though this book is pretty old, but I got some good feedback about this book. I want to learn to write plain JavaScript code from scratch and then move to jquery. Is there any suggestion with this vision?
I have another question, just for curiosity --- is it possible to use JavaScript or jquery for developing desktop application inside?
If you search on Google then there are so many tutorial sites like
For JavaScript
http://www.w3schools.com/js/default.asp
http://www.echoecho.com/javascript.htm
http://www.tizag.com/javascriptT/
http://www.tutorialspoint.com/javascript/index.htm
http://www.quackit.com/javascript/tutorial/
For jQuery
http://www.w3schools.com/jquery/default.asp
http://docs.jquery.com/Tutorials
And there are lots of tutorials and PDFs for these, but you can start from the above urls
Or refer answer from here https://stackoverflow.com/tags/javascript/info
JavaScript The Good Parts is a great book for Javascript, I wouldn't recommend it for learning the language. You should come back to it once you understood the concepts of the language.
As #PitaJ already mentioned in the comments you should take a look at the learning section here: https://stackoverflow.com/tags/javascript/info
And yes, it is possible to develop desktop applications. However you will need software that allows you to do that. i.e.: http://appjs.org/ or http://www.tidesdk.org/
Speaking from a quality point of view, software developed like this will probably never reach the level of natively build applications.
You might also find the node.js project interesting.
EDIT: Windows 8 also allows you to build desktop Javascript application. MSDN Javascript Apps for Windows
Try:
1. http://www.w3schools.com/js/default.asp - w3schools' javascript tutorial
2. http://www.w3schools.com/jquery/default.asp - w3schools' jquery tutorial
These will give a idea of both javascript and jquery.
Once you are familiar with jquery, you can also visit: http:// api.jquery.com/
This is the official jquery api "blog".

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.

I'm currently develloping a Chrome Extension and i'm searching for more ergonomy by finding a good IDE who can manage javascript and also Chrome Extension API.
Thanks in advance.
Use Aptana Studio and add the following scripts to File references.
chrome_extensions.js
webkit_dom.js
Congratulations! You now have a very capable javascript editor with autocomplete support for chrome APIs
EDIT
You can have the same functionality in Visual Studio, which has (in my opinion) even better support for javascript. In fact I think it's the best javascript editor around (quiet an achievement for microsoft :))
Just add the following comment to your js files:
/// <reference path="MyExternalFile.js" />
And you get:
I got this to work on IntelliJ by using this API stub (to make the chrome object appear in auto completion)
https://github.com/linux-china/chrome_js_api_stub
In combination with the chrome extension.js
https://code.google.com/p/closure-compiler/source/browse/contrib/externs/chrome_extensions.js
I then added the stub chrome_js_api_stub library and the chrome extension library by following the below directions
http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/webhelp/configuring-javascript-libraries.html
It's not for everyone, but if by ergonomy you mean moving your hands around as little as possible, not reaching for the mouse, VIM is very much designed to keep your fingers on the keyboard and as close to the asdf/jkl; positions as much as possible. It's a pretty steep learning curve, but the payoff is extremely quick workflow.
With the right addons, it's a very decent javascript editor, with syntax highlighting (including jsdoc comments), code completion, jslint integration, etc
For Aptana Studio 3: (plugin for Eclipse tested)
Find a library you are interested in...Save it to your disk, and then drag it into your project. It does not matter where in the project it sits, so you can create a new folder for files like this if you like.
!! The project must be some type of web project: Web, PHP, Python, Ruby, Rails.

What is the best windows environment to use while developing web application with heavy javascript coding? Does any tools other than VS have some kind of intellisense for javascript?
Look at cloud9ide, netbeans, vs2010, webstorm, Aptana, Eclipse.
I mean have your pick!
Cloud9IDE is a web based IDE thats run in a server. You just go to the website and develop, write and debug your code in the browser. Just login and write. But this is in closed beta and very young. It needs to mature
Netbeans is familiar for those who have used it for java. It's javascript support is good and compared to aptana, eclipse & vs2010 I prefer it.
WebStorm is a great IDE made for front-end developers. This like VS isn't free but it's significantly cheaper then VS. I would recommend WebStorm currently for having good features like intellisense, git integration and refactoring tools build in.
Of course you can always use VIM, Emacs or Notepad++ for your javascript.
'Best' is very much relative to the user. Personally, I've used Komodo Edit (if my memory serves me correctly has intellisense for JS), Eclipse (dunno about intellisense), Notepad++, Vi and finally Emacs.
Emacs is my editor of choice for everything. If you know your way around the commands, key binds and system commands well enough (if you're on Windows, you should install Cygwin and learn it imho), it's without a doubt the most effective dev environment available.
(No need to spark a religious emacs vs. vi debate here - I do like Vi too, just not as much ;))
Netbeans works as good as anything for me - but it's really down to personal taste! There's loads out there, give them a go and see what works best for you.
TextMate. Lightweight, performs very well, extremely configurable, lots and lots of nice built-in bundles.
I know you say 'other than VS,' but Visual Studio 2010 has really great javascript support. Have a look at these posts by Scott Gutherie on the subject:
http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2010/04/08/javascript-intellisense-improvements-with-vs-2010.aspx
http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2008/11/21/jquery-intellisense-in-vs-2008.aspx
The second post applies to improvements introduced in Visual Studio 2008, but it certainly holds true for the 2010 edition. If you are needing intellisence in your standalone script files I suggest you read this blog post on the subject. Do you find something lacking in Visual Studio's javascript support that has you searching for another solution?
