Best IDE? well thats a tough question and it depends on persons own taste &
preferences. I like to play with all IDE's there in market and finally stick
to ones which I like more. In this case its DW & Eclipse. As John Mason
mentioned earlier, from coder's point of view no one can beat Eclipse for
the simple reason that its meant for a developer who does coding day in day
out. Its a very wise option to get familiar with Eclipse because sooner or
later some place you join will have developers who only use Eclipse. As for
DW is concerned, it is also a great tool for a developer who wants to do
design as well write code.
Personally, I use both DW & Eclipse. I use DW a lot because when I want to
edit code, I just select the html element and I get to the point where I
want to make the changes instead of searching for it. Thats the
biggest plusfor me as far as using DW is concerned. On the other side,
whenever I have
to refactor code or make code changes in CFC's etc, I prefer to stick to
Eclipse. Also the Eclipse IDE has some very cool features like
1) You can go to previously viewed file by using cntl + F6 keys. I dont
think you could do the same in DW. In DW, cntl + tab takes you through list
of files that are open. I hate that. Usually i have lots of files open and I
always like to go back & forth between 2 open windows/files. Its much easier
to do this in Eclipse.
2) The appearance of Eclipse editor looks very good to the eyes when
compared to DW's appearance. This remark is based of how code looks in IDE
and has nothing to do with fancy stuff.
3) Lot of plugin options. There is another tool which gives TortoiseSVN
features in eclipse. I dont want to write it here as we are already
discussing that in other thread.
Bottom line, I use both. Of late I have been using DW only. But if you want
to use Subversion commands in IDE, then Eclipse is by far the best option.
Anyone who would like to add or comment on my post is more than welcome. I
want to see ppl's opinion when it comes to there favourite editors.
