One thing that I liked about the Visual Studio IDE was the context sensitive hints feature. This is currently also present in the Selida (beta 2) html editor (http://www.amaryllis.8m.com/).
While you type a dropdown menu appears in the editor window with the most likely entries in it.

Another help feature from the Visual Studio IDE that is very handy is the tooltip with syntax information. It displays parameter type info, sometimes possible values about the function/parameter you're currently editing.

The same opinion of mine:)

While they would be nice features, I would also suggest if they are added, that the ability to turn them off is also added, because they tend to get in the way a lot.
