Is it jQuery? Is there a way to integrate support for the excellent ExtJS or YUI libraries?
Any news on whether Visual Studio 2010 will support another JS framework?

If you have either documented or debug versions of the framework you want to use, VS 2008 will give you IntelliSense of the referenced JS libraries.
If you’ve installed the additional IntelliSense hotfix KB958502, you can take advantage of VS automatically finding copies of documented JS files named .vsdoc.js or .debug.js next to your referenced minified versions.
Going forward, VS 2010 will have even more support for JavaScript, working out parameter types from usage, etc.
Microsoft have started offering support for jQuery – which is different to VS supporting a JavaScript framework – this means that you can phone MS up and say your site isn’t working with jQuery, and they will help you fix it (as a standard support incident, like they would if you found an issue in VS itself, or IIS, or even Word).
