What are you looking for in your IDE? Just to write JSP?  One of the 
defining factors is often a GUIbuilder / screenpainter -- if you don't 
need that, your options expand greatly.

Netbeans / Forte is popular (I never understood the diff between the two), 
but always dog slow on my machines.

I like Eclipse, it's kind of "open source visual age" if that means 
anything to you:).

I just recently started using jEdit, which is loaded with 
java-development-centric plugins.  I'm not sure if there are JSP specific 
ones, but it would be easy to check.

Also, don't totally rule out Emacs with the JDEE (which, last time I 
checked, was at jde.sunsite.dk)  It gives you many IDE features, including
automatic code generation, ant integration, debugging, all kinds of 
goodies.

Good luck!
