Comments on: What’s your favorite text editor or IDE? http://tiffanybbrown.com/2006/05/17/text-editors-and-ides/ A web log about web development and internet culture with frequent detours into other stuff.

But I find myself wanting to code everything,certainly not layout design as dreamweaver was partly designed for. If you stick to the code view it makes for a perfectly good text editor,with constant validation. I’m just starting out on the development trail, and coming from more of a design background, I thought that dreamweaver would be more suitable with all its chunky bits. But I find myself wanting to code everything,certainly not layout design as dreamweaver was partly designed for.

I'm not a big fan of Dreamweaver either, the code it generates is far too bloated. That goes double for Front Page. In general, I'm not a big fan of any WYSIWYG editors. I hand cade everything. I searched high and low for an editor to suite my needs (I develop the back end of web applications more so than the front). I ran across Textpad (http://www.textpad.com) about 3 years back. It's excellent if you are looking for a general text editor for a variety of languages...HTML, CSS, JavaScript, ASP, PHP, Java, C++, etc... I know this is an old post, I’ll add my 2 cents in anyway.

It is primarily for sites which have database backends and can generate code in Perl, PHP, VBScript, C++, JScript and (I think) ColdFusion, and it can add SSI security if needed. Although its WYSIWYG isn't the greatest, nor does it have the ability to edit CSS in anything other than a text-mode, it can create database-based pages extremely quickly and easily, and has a built-in browser so all work can be done within the interface.

I'm not a coder by any stretch of the imagination (dabbling in php and javascripts edits). However, I prefer to code my web pages manually. I've recently swtiched from Metapad to Notepad2. For blogging, I also use a template of my individual page in Dreamweaver to preview posts that have additional layout considerations (lists, pics, etc). I've actually begun to like some of the shortcuts DW affords. That’s weird, I sort of brought this up in my last post.

Though I find it useful for wireframing as well since they properly implemented CSS2 support in MX 2004. Also, I forgot that there are several plugins for Visual Studio.NET (Perl and PHP for a couple) so its not totally useless to non .NET developers.
