Even though I own and use Macromedia MX Studio, I also use HTML-Kit for some of the unique features available there and not available in Dreamweaver MX, usually provided by plugins, in particular the irHTMLShow plugin. This is altogether an excellent Web development tool, and unlike Eclipse it works right "out of the box." Eclipse is powerful, and extensible, but it's based on Java and is simultaneously a good deal more complex to set up and configure and somewhat less full-featured for Web development than HTML-Kit. If you like putting together apps from SourceForge or other open source sites, fine. If you want a powerful, easy to use, free Web editor, go with HTML-Kit. Recommended.
Cheers, Scott

Subject: Re: [wdvltalk] Nvu editor
Okay... looks like I fibbed. I can't use this today. I've got a heap of JS to write and NVU won't even open a .js file. Add to that, opening a file with only php (no HTML) makes it wrap the whole thing in HTML, BODY and HEAD tags and gives it a nice HTML 4.01 doctype. yay.
You allegedly *can* edit CSS in NVU... though it's with an extension-like interface. I say allegedly, because after 5 minutes of trying to figure out how to open a css file in it, I stopped.
So... If you're looking for an Open Source editor with good HTML, JS, CSS, PHP support and is extensible to whatever the heck else you want to code, I'd say go with Eclipse[1], with the PHPEclipse plugin[2] (even if you don't code PHP, get the PHPEclipse plugin, as it has excellent syntax highlighting for HTML, CSS and JS).
If you're looking to edit straight HTML (and nothing else) in a WYSIWYG environment, NVU may be the way to go.

did anyone ever reply to your message? I use Nvu on a very limited application -- a single page used to update a projects list. I was hoping a *power user* would reply so we could both learn.
I do use it on a limited basis, so could answer some questions if you like
