It's the best powerful visual AJAX IDE I've seen before. You can develope your web application in it just like what you do in VB or Delphi based on its powerful AJAX components libs.

If you want to approach Javascript as a programming language, and understand how it really works, spend some time at Douglas Crockford's site. If you don't know the name, he happens to be one of the head Javascript gurus for Yahoo, as well as the inspiration behind the whole JSON concept. There are some good videos of Crockford's teaching sessions on Youtube and Google Video, also.

If you take the time to read through what he's talking about, especially with regard to objects, functions and prototyping, you might just reach the "Aha!!" moment where you really Get It. In spite of buggy browser implementations, the concepts behind Javascript are truly elegant.

Also, if you are interested in the future of Javascript, pay attention: it's going to get a LOT better soon. Already, Javascript 1.7 and 1.8 in the latest Mozilla browsers are introducing some great features, and when Javascript 2.0 (ECMAscript 4) comes out, I (and many other developers) think it will start to become a serious general-purpose language, not just a browser-based one.
