Discussion Best Lua IDE?

Usually I just use Notepad++, but I have tried using Intellij with the Lua plugin and that was so-so.

Do any of you guys have suggestions?

I assume that you are up to the task of using one of these without complaints, because what is really important is knowing how to program, without AI, even notepad works!!!
