I've been using Scirra's Construct 2 (http://www.scirra.com/construct2) and like it so far. I do programming for my day job but I like how this abstracts things that I need to do to make a game like tying art assets to game rules so I can focus on the game design and less time on learning lots of subsystems.
It takes care of most of the heavy lifting when developing games for HTML5, but it still has a very open and powerful scripting language (unlike something like gamesalad which is more like using pre-built blocks).

What is everyone's favorite HTML5 game engine? So far out of all that I've tried I like the Isogenic game engine: https://github.com/coolbloke1324/ige_prototype

Curious to hear about other game engines as well.
I highly recommend Construct 2: http://www.scirra.com/construct2

Edit - Ha, beaten by 1 minute.
Have you made anything using it yet?
Current favorite: ImpactJS. Closed source, costs $100 to get started, but comes with a nice level editor and a very involved community.
Great for making 2d games.
I'm liking create.js and easel.js
I like gameQueryJS.com as there's almost no learning curve if you know jQuery.
