Web Development Editor of the Year
 

What is your web editor of choice?

--jeremy

Nvu of course!

Do you mean Integrated Web Development Environment? I don't use one; I like vi[m] too much!

Bluefish...

Quanta+
 

For quick and easy web development I use and recommend Nvu (too bad it doesn't get updates anymore). For my advanced web development I use Quanta+ and code the stuff by hand. Since this is the most common way I do things my vote goes to Quanta.

A good text editor like vim is enough.

Quanta Plus:
Has fair customizability so that less time is spent marking up html, once you get things set up the way you want. The ability to quickly flip between views makes the workspace fairly efficient.

Vim, of course! Where is it?

Any good editor will do the job.
Or else choose the laziest choice and use Dreamweaver on Windows.

Bluefish does it for me too

My vote goes for Bluefish, which I have mainly used. Works well.

As an aside, I recently came across Cssed, which I find better for doing css style sheets. So actually I use a combination of Bluefish for html and Cssed for style sheets.

Bluefish for development, and vi for quick changes.

i only used Quanta, works fine, i think i need to test the others.

Thanks! Cant believe I missed that large web development voting thread. Thanks, I will test the programs out. I was scared I was going to have to go back to windows on the laptop!

Simple and powerfull = Quanta Plus

This one is a bit odd... Nvu/Kompozer are WYSIWYG editors where Bluefish and Scream are text editors aimed at web development. Personally, I've used Bluefish quite a bit but ultimately had to setup gedit for web development. With the file browser plugin, snippets plugin, and customized tag list plugins enabled, it does everything I need it to do that Bluefish was doing--only more stable and wtih asychronous remote file access.

hi Jeremy,

I think Mozilla web composer is worth mentioning here.
It comes in quite handy as it is available with the mozilla package so we find it in all distros.
The same cannot be said about other web editors.

SeaMonkey Composer is the last option in the poll.

--jeremy

quanta, code the stuff by hand though

Emacs with any of the *ml modes. Why complicate things?

what about jedit?
 

Definitively JEdit!!! Why isn't this one on the list?

agree with dexter

I'm going with 'Seamonkey' at the moment, partly due to novelty value.

FileZilla :D

Bluefish is good for me

For obvious reason I cannot vote in this category, but despite/in spite of an earlier comment regarding laziness, AND despite the fact that I no longer use Windblowzzz heXed P, I would vote for Dreamweaver Studio-8. It kicks the crap out of anything else in this category IMO, for it's sheer ability and power. I will spare you the gory details..
Sure, a half-decent text editor is all ya need (if trapped, let's say, on a desert island and absolutely HAD to write a shell-script or some HTML or something similar) but if you want to be time-efficient AND learn stuff, and code in something like PHP for example, DW8 is *it* ;)

What about text editors???
 

I wouldn't use any of the choices listed. The only tools I use to create web pages besides a text editor (the obvious choice being emacs) are shell scripts.

There's no Aptana here :(

quanta + does everything I need it to.

I voted for Nvu, but what happened to Amaya?!

I still haven't learned how to use it, but it looks hotter than Nvu, especially with the whole built in browser thing.

Haven't used anything other than Mozilla/SeaMonkey suite or a regular text editor.

I like Bluefish. I first heard of it on the LQ awards last year and I've been using it ever since.

Would love to see Dreamweaver ported....

Bluefish, I find it simple and fast to use.

Kate. Doesn't need to be fancy.

Comments on Nvu
 

:twocents: I like Nvu, but it is too buggy for me. It messes up my code by adding its own extra code or not keeping what I hand-code. Very aggravating.

I personally like Amaya -- never fails. :)

I mostly use(d) nano. nice and simple, like HTML was meant 2 b. NVU/SeaMonkey have promise for rapid development if the resulting code was not so sick as to make me taste the hint of bile in the back of my throat. ;)

Screem for php!

quanta+
 

quanta+ because it cranks
quanta+ because the support forum - supports
quanta+ it's the kitty-hootch for web development. :)

I use Composer. And you have full permission to laugh at me for useing a WYSIWYG.

Best with PHP, HTML
works well.

Screem and Bluefish are awesome!
