I made a template that makes it easier to create macros using vbscript. You can download it here http://vbscript-macro-template.blogspot.com. It's not an editor though. You still have to use notepad or something. Personally I use SCITE for all my batch and VBScript editing. Their site is here http://www.scintilla.org/SciTE.html . It does not have any autocomplete capabilities, but it does do syntax highlighting. With it and a good reference website, you can do great things! I'd stay away from programs like this. They have no future. Any time you spend learning it is a waste of time. VBScript is also a good option to automate tasks, and it is already included on any computer that you might want to run it on.

But this is no batch editor, just another made up scripting language. And requires itself to run scripts. Taking something more flexible like AutoIt (with option to compile into standalone executables) would be much more powerful.
