Back in the day, before .NET was an option, most developers I knew chose one of two options:
1) Use Visual Interdev - this was part of Visual Studio 6, and while not a great tool, did the job adequately 2) Use a programmer's editor - my favorite current one is Notepad++. These give you color coding to help make your code readable, but lack many IDE features such as debugging tools. I agree with CK that if possible, use .NET, and I don't know about most of the viewers of this group - but as a consultant, i work with many companies where you don't get to choose the technology you work with - they may be using classic ASP for a site, and the guy in charge may not allow you to use .NET - so it's good to know how to use some of the old technology as well. These days, I tend to use Dreamweaver for most of my web development, it handles ASP, .NET, and a whole boatload of other languages natively, and there may be plugins availble for even more. Also, for what it's worth, Visual Studio.NET and even Web Developer Express understand classic ASP code, you can open them as just plain old normal files - the file extension .asp lets the IDE know what you're working with, and will color-code for you accordingly.
