Has anyone found a plugin for Visual Studio to allow for PowerShell syntax highlighting or IntelliSense? If not, does anyone have any idea why not? I keep hoping someone else with copious free time would have tackled this by now. I have hope since other folks have managed to take the limited documentation and build custom IntelliSense providers for other languages such as NHaml.

Edit: To clarify,I'm not looking for a list of IDEs that can be used to develop PowerShell . I spend 90% of my day in Visual Studio. It already does a really good job of slicing and dicing code. That is the IDE I prefer to use to edit all text and code. The lack of PowerShell syntax highlighting now that I work with PowerShell scripts is down right painful.

I have not seen anything about Visual Studio Intellisense for PowerShell scripts.

I recommend you to try some other tools like:
