Favourite html editors...

[killay]

I usually use textpad (always worked with it at school) until I used notepad++

[MMZJSFMMX10MM]

I use TextPad for C++ and Java. It is pretty nice too.

[Guest wkcgreenteam]

I'm on a mac and I use Smultron (http://tuppis.com/smultron/)

[htmlcoder]

I like Dreamweaver (CS3) I will prob. not ever get CS4, too expensive!!

[Guest Speed]

I like HTMLPad 2008, great tool and cheap. http://www.blumentals.net/htmlpad/If you want a free tool, Notepad++ is good too.

CoffeeCup wasn't listed. Good bit of software for us hacks...

[oandzen]

Dreamweaver MX for me is the best...

[virgil]

netbeans has great features including highlighting uninitialized variables.http://www.netbeans.org/features/php/

[An Alien]

I really like to use Microsoft Frontpage. It's very easy to use.

[teh1ghool]

I use Taco HTML Edithttp://tacosw.com

[shadytyrant]

I enjoy using Dreamweaver on my Windows box and Bluefish on my Linux box.

[Trotun]

@Alien: I've never touched front page before. Do they let you edit html code yourself? just curious.===I prefer dreamweaver using the MX style menu. My uncle likes the old style. Where everything was basically a separte window. ugh, too much hassle for me.The only other program I've tried is NVU. It's definately not bad for beginners. But I found it a little frustrating to use 'cause I wanted to do a certain thing but couldn't find it. xp Also I couldn't see code and normal view at the same time. But nonetheless I say it's pretty good.I'll have to look at the other programs in the list. *nods*

[MGadAllah]

Why cs3 and not cs4?

[Synook]

Why cs3 and not cs4?

Because he lost his CS3 disk?

[skaterdav85]

Because he lost his CS3 disk?

or maybe have a patch for cs3

[errietta]

I use gedit and when I use Windows (rarely) I use notepad++

[madsovenielsen]

I've always used notepad simply because I've never known of any other free one, but I'm really excited to be able to use color so its not too hard to find a piece of code.

Eclipse. Free. Runs on Linux And Windows. http://www.eclipse.org//mads

[mehashi]

Yes I am sorry to see that notepad++ was not listed!Syntax highlighting and all the features you need in a text editor, it is great and for the icing on the cake it is open source! Can't do better than that for basic coding! The tabbed method of working makes it great for working on 10+ pages all at once without having windows popping up everywhere! Try it! ^_^b*Edited* for terrible typos...

Anyone use Aptana?I use it at work and have recently adopted it at home. Previously I only used notepad, but Aptana has some great advantages for project management and server deployment, it also integrates well with subversion

[inktherapy]

notepad, notepad++

[korsohill]

Note Tab Light.Free, tabbed, and easy!Otherwise I use Notpad, but that's annoying because it's not tabbed.

[cedric]

I use Eclipse, It's free aswell and you can use it or multiple languages.http://www.eclipse.org/

[pixelcriativo]

Actually i am using the InType, and i think is very useful www.intype.info

[Benny]

You should add Notepad++ to that list.

Agreed. I use Notepad++.
