Sublime or visual basic studio work great. I also just coded directly in the Roll20 editor a while, which works fine until you want to be able to undo code changes between sessions.

Visual Studio Code (vscode).   It’s awesome on PC or Mac even though it is by Microsoft.  It’s  a pro level tool for free.   There is a large marketplace of plugins.
I second vscode. It's lightweight, easy, and free.

Ah, Vscode was what I meant instead of VBstudio, although I like sublime better. It's got more customization I've found the settings easier to manipulate.

Notepad.  I'm a purist. 
Notepad++ has always been my favorite for almost any coding

Vim (but it's not user friendly... =D)

I remember reading a tutorial for Vim that I thought was a satire about how complicated software instruction manuals were, especially with the tutorial writer saying how simple it was then describing a crazy sequence of keystrokes you had to remember to do certain tasks. It only gradually dawned on me that it was in fact a seriously written user guide for Vim. It does seem powerful, but definitely a power-user tool.

Emacs, of course.
As was mentioned, Notepad++ with the js highlighting. If you want something a bit of a step up, you can't go wrong with Sublime Text 3.
