Web Development Editor of the Year
 

A close award two years running.

mozilla composer is the best WYUSIWUG editor

Quanta rules, in my opinion. Bluefish comes a close second.

Quanta. It's autocomplete for HTML and PHP is great.

I use Quanta now. I like it over Bluefish because of some small things.

I like Screem and Bluefish, but actually... I do most of the work in GEdit.

Thanks to all Quanta users for voting us number one last year. If you haven't tried Quanta lately you should. 3.3 is very nice and 3.4 is just around the corner. The Visual Page Layout is getting more attention and maturity than ever before. PHP object and local auto completion is in work in CVS. Kommander has become a serious tool for extending Quanta and writing custom tools in 3.3 and will be one of the best secrets on the desktop in 3.4. The whole Quanta package is now the kdewebdev application suite with a link checker, imagemap editor and XSL debugger. The new Event Actions mean you can emulate just about any feature you can imagine as well as do serious automation and there are a lot of other new features.

I can't help but wonder if a lot of people who like Quanta still don't know half of the cool things it can do. ;-) Hopefully we can expose this power better along with KNewStuff and other features on our new site we're building. Enjoy!

I love quanta +... and I don't even run KDE, just Quanta. Its amazingly good at blending in to your work... To be honest I don't really appreciate it until I've spent 7 or 8 hours doing php / html /css and stop... then I am amazed at how transparent and perfectly adapted it is to me. I dont really even notice it while working... It lets me work without saying stuff like:"boy I wish the editor would / would not do this" or "boy this is bad" or "I really miss homesite". Quanta is it.

Quanta has everything that I have ever wished for. I only voted in one category here and this was it (would have done two, but fluxbox was not listed).

Try Quanta... Its really really nice...

Mozilla Composer !
Bluefish sometimes

Their is nothing like Quanta Plus in FOSS world still.
Bulefish is good, but need few improvements.

vi, of course...

Quanta

Both Quanta+ and Nvu (wish Nvu was faster though) are good. Nvu, however, was very useful when it came to fixing broken HTML.

kate in Linux, notepad in windows

thats how we 'elite' teenagers do it nowadays

ssh, ssl, scp, etc
 

I cannot figure out how to connect to a server 'securely' using Quanta. I believe I will make a thread about that but I wanted to point it out here. Other than that, I voted for Quanta because it's a very useful program.

Quanta

Bluefish, if I have to have tags generated, it's Tidy integration is very nice.
I prefer using gedit though, most of the time.

Quanta is not working for me, too much of it's functionality is filled with errors (and it was version 3.2.3 I mind you!!!), it's a buggy piece of code (or is it just Kommander, that's buggy?).

Quanta + Quanta

I haven't really found any GUI Web editor I like. For me it is still vi, emacs, or my favorite, Epsilon. I do a lot of PHP and perl and haven't found any of the GUI editors to really work for me. I know HTML and don't need drop-down menus etc. to help me out.

ssh + vi

:)

bluefish

vi - it's the only way I'll write a web page... so I'll have to echo siplus. ssh + vi

You forgot not one, but the TWO top options in my Opinion... Eclipse with Web development plugins, and FireFox Web Developer extension.

vim

I just like everything Mozilla. I've been using it scince my past life in W^#$ows.

I don't really use any of these.. but Bluefish is the only one I would use if I did ;-)

vim. duh.

Nvu 1.0 beta released!

I gotta go for NVu 'cos that's what I use. It's good for setting up a page WYSIWYG, and then you can attack the code, 'cos its still clean. :D

bluefish
 

definately Bluefish, I can open 500 files in a BLuefish session, do regular expression replaces in those 500 files, modify the menu contents and shortcut key combinations, it's definately a good production environment. Quanta might be good for small html-only websites, but for big production sites with PHP there is no better choice then Bluefish.

What? No gedit, kedit, notepad editors? Seames more like the best wysiwyg editor

Argh. It'd be nice if we could still at least see the options after voting.

Anyway - bluefish was up there because I voted for it and it's not WYSIWYG and I'm sure Quanta was too, and it's not. If screem was up there, it's not. Gedit and kedit aren't 'web development' editors. They're text editors with a few html features. (Not saying that as a knock - just saying they're a different category.)

Maybee, but I just think that any tool a webmaster can use to make a webpage is a web development tool. Perhaps Bluefish isn't realy a WYSIWYG editor, while you can't se what you've made, it still has grafic functions for inserting tabels and changing fonts (two clicks made me this: <font size="-1"><font size="+1"></font></font>).

Emacs + nxml-mode.

What! There's no vi in the choices!?!

Nothing comes close to using the source! ;-)

definately Quanta+, I can have 1000 files in a Quanta project, do regular expression replaces in those 1000 files and not even have to open them, make my own toolbars and shortcut key combinations, it's definately a good production environment. Bluetooth might be good for small html-only websites, but for big production sites with PHP there is no better choice than Quanta +, but then again, I havent tried Bluefish for about 18 months so i dont know what i'm talking about..........

;)

Joff

Quanta! Definitely.

It's the editor for you.
It's the editor for me.
It's the editor for a new generation.

Well maybe I'm overstating but......
I have tried the rest and Quanta is definitely the best.
Accept no substitutes.

It's a whole Quantum + leap forward, and developing so fast it's hard to imagine how good it will be this time next year.

On another tack it's great to see that people love so many other editors. vi and emacs seem like they will live forever in one manner or another.

WykD

Heh, yeah... that or gedit. Never have liked anything else, so far.

Quanta. ;) I don't use ANY KDE apps besides it.

Oo.org's web writer is actualy pretty good for one-off pages when you're feeling lazy.

Bluefish rules

None of these can compare to dreamweaver. So if someone wants to make a web on linux it's time he learned to do so on a txt editor

It has always been, and also on other os

I agree that is my favorite part

Bluefish for the simplicity of it. Even though I just installed GTK 2.6 and can't get it's latest version to run, the old version works just as good as vi, plus I like how it reminds me of 'other' Integrated Development Environments by color coding things more eloquently than a simple text editor.

I say let the purists have their way too, as long as your making web pages there will be something for the rest of us to do.

If only I could vote for quanta and bluefish. I like them both.

Quanta is very good
 

Quanta works very well for me most of the time. I am sure I don't know 10 % of it's capabilities but it does what I want quickly and does not get in my way like most "easy to use" editors do. Yeah vi or emacs work as well for a quick change.

Dan

if you haven't heard yet: blufish 1.0 is relased.

bluefish 1.0 is the best!

Close call between Quanta and Nvu. I'll admitt that Nvu's Windows version was the reason I voted for Quanta. It's so buggy.

Jeremy

I use emacs
