Matt,
Nope, sorry, "slim" would not be an adjective I would apply. ;-) I'm using Dreamweaver Studio MX (mostly Dreamweaver MX, actually), and DMX is still a hog. On my former Toshiba Satellite with a 1.5 GHz Celeron, 256 kb L2 cache, 512 MB RAM it could take 3-5 seconds to accept the focus after switching back to it from another app. The basic solution is to throw resources at it. On my new IBM ThinkPad with a 1.8 GHz Pentium M, 1 MB L2 cache, and 1 GB RAM, it actually responds with pretty fair alacrity and no discernible delays. I personally suspect that it is the processor and cache that make the difference, but I can't state that unequivocally.
It is a very nice tool, indeed, but of course it is not the answer to all wishes. I use it for probably 65-75% of typical development, but as I mentioned in a previous post, I also use HTML-Kit for its unique abilities, many of which are accomplished by purpose-built plugins designed to address a specific need (such as the irHTMLShow plugin, which is very handy indeed). Between those two, TopStyle Pro 3.1, and CSE HTML Validator Pro, about 95% or more of my development needs (not counting graphics creation/editing) are met.
Cheers, Scott

Yea, this was exactly my experience as well. I played around with SKEdit a bit more today, and man it's pretty cool. I'm waiting with baited breath for the next release. I haven't tried Dream weaver for a long time, but I remember it being pretty cumbersom and bloated with the whole WYSIWYG stuff in there. Perhaps it's slimmed down as of late?

Okay... in SKEdit, apparently the host I have those sites on does accept SFTP connections. Tried it on a non-SFTP host and it was denied. Setting the Port to 21 didn't help either. no dice there.
In Eclipse, if I go to:

Golden. Now you can go to File > Import and specify FTP as the source...
Now... All that said, if you're making changes then uploading them to the server to view them, this is a decidedly slower process than what you'd go through in DW... Can't really speak for BBEdit.
