[Web Developers] What Editor do you use?

[dclamp]

if your a web developer.... what editor do you use and prefer?

[DirtyHowi]

granted i do very little web stuff (i write the middle bits for asp apps on occasion) but we use dreamweaver for internet "web" pages, VS2005 for asp development.

[manavo11]

Dreamweaver mostly. I also tried the Zend studio for a trial period, but I wasn't crazy about it. Maybe I just got used to Dreamweaver?

Also I've heard good words about Notepad++.

[dclamp]

I also use Dreamweaver because of its built in FTP server. ATM i am using PHPDesigner which has PHP Syntax check and debug which is good.

NotePad++ is also a good editor, but doesnt have the functionality of Dreamweaver

[Kasracer]

I used to use NotePad++

Now that I've found VS.Php, I use only Visual Studio. It's the perfect editor since it allows me to setup multiple deployment configurations and I can automatically deploy to FPS, SFTP, etc with the click of a button straight from the IDE

PHP : still havent found a good one so i just wrote php code manually on dreamweaver

DreamWeaver for Web Pages Along with ASP

[Tom Sawyer]

Whatever you do, don't use FrontPage. I haven't touched the thing in 10 years, but I still have nightmares about it.

I occasionally use this at work (we have too many plug-ins so Visual Studio takes a while to load so a quick change = Frontpage ). It's actually a decent syntax editor just don't use the design mode

[KiwiDexter]

Crimson editor : php

Dreamweaver : ColdFusion

Might try some of the options people have listed above, would be keen on a php debugger.

[modpluz]

i use Dreamweaver for all my web development projects,although am planning on changing to VS 2008.

[bagstoper]

Dreamweaver is the best one I have tried although I haven't tried the new VS2008 web developer.

[TheBigB]

Notepad ++ all the way.

In my opinion editors quite suck.
It does improve the speed of coding, but editors can be a real pain in the bum.
For example, your editor is all fancy and stuff and it generates code you don't know heck on what it's based. Well, fine, at least it works.
But now if you have to edit the code; it's like rewiring a company's network without knowing which cable goes where.

Though I would like an application which would offer me intellisense for PHP and integrated syntax library, I keep coding the old-fashioned way.
Probably because of my prejudices and my stubbornness.

Zend Studio (runs on Java therefore sucks and is only useful for the debugger).


Edit: VS.PHP might be a better choice if you use Visual Studio. I've not tried it.

[alex_read]

Visual Studio.

A lot of editors (including that one with it's default settings) like to try to be clever and format any HTML I write so if I haven't got VS to hand, I just stick with NotePad or NotePad++ as most others infuriate the life out of me.

Having said that a lot of you are mentioning DreamWeaver so I might give that a go one of these days!

[John_420]

I perfer NotePad but if its a small script but if its a website then i normally use NotePad++ or Gobby to work with other developers. ( Google Gobby if you don't know what it is )
