Well if you have the regular version of Visual studio's you can use plugins like Amethyst [1], Tofino [2], or Code Drive [3]. Although I believe Tofino stopped developement at Flex SDK 4.5. You can do things like roll your own plugin for it and get it to work for express editions... But don't host your custom plugins anywhere permanent. It's against Microsoft's license for the express editions and they will send you reminders.
There are extensions like TWaver [4] for some additional graphics / integration. I use VS web because of the C# .net, HTML, JS, CSS, XML, and SQL work I do on my servers. Those are all supported well with the intellisense(code completion)... and the SQL even has some direct integration to a development SQL server. Even without the plugins you can just add the file extension and assign the editor type. This will add full formatting / color support, it just will not have intellisense. Not perfect, but it keeps me from loading up several IDE's at once.
