Title: [WSG] Which editors do you guys recommend?

For those that use notepad and type everything in by hand,  there’s a far better answer for you – Ultraedit (ultraedit.com).  It is a simple text editor, but it has syntax highlighting,  can handle files as big as your whole hard drive,  can edit hex,   you can cut and paste in columns as well as blocks of text.  You can search and replace over whole groups of files as well as folders.   You can search and replace on text or on hex as well, so for example you could replace all the carriage returns or tabs with something else.  I never use notepad for anything any more.    And it has a FTP function so you can upload your files directly from ultraedit.   It’s ultraedit for me.   But for my normal use, I use dreamweaver MX2004 usually in code view.  It has tag completion and hints, so it’ll tell me what the attributes are for any tag as I start to type it, it’ll correct syntax errors if I want it to, and a click on the up arrow and the file I’m editing is loaded onto the site.  I don't have to keep remembering the passwords, addresses etc of all the sites I’m working on.   And for CSS editing, I use topstyle.  There might be better ones, but I started using it a few years ago and never saw the need to switch away.     Cheers Mike Kear Windsor, NSW, Australia AFP Webworks http://afpwebworks.com     From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Sean M. Hall AKA Dante Sent: Sunday, 6 June 2004 3:54 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [WSG] Which editors do you guys recommend?   I've been searching for a good editor (don't say BBEdit) that has syntax highlighting and will not insert stuff (like if I type '(' in a script tag the editor will insert a ')' right after it, I don't like that). Until then it's note pad for me.
