Javascript in VisualStudio 2010

Question

Are there any good, reliable plugins for Visual Studio that make Javascript development less painful?

Every time I write a closing brace or a semicolon VS feels the need to inappropriately and incorrectly re-indent nearby code.

Best thing I did was just turn off auto-formatting - I was never able to get it to work with how I format my brackets. — Jason, Sep 21 '11 at 17:14
@Jason indeed - shutting off formatting altogether for JS is the best option. Not sure why I didn't think of that. — Adam Rackis, Sep 21 '11 at 17:21

Have you tried looking under Tools --> Options --> Text Editor --> JScript?

There are lots of settings you can change there to tell VS to indent or not indent code.

JetBrains ReSharper 6 supports JavaScript quite good. Unfortunately it is quite slow.
