what do you like and why?

1. TextPad: Unbelievable number of features for a "simple" text editor
2. Frontpage Express: It's free and does quick tables for me
3. Outlook Express: It's free and you can't believe how quickly and efficiently it rips quick and dirty pages!

VIM is a pretty sweet text editor

I like Notepad. It's got everything I need.

If you like to code your own HTML, Textpad or CuteHTML would be best. You could also just use notepad in Windows, or whatever text editor you like in *NIX.

If you want the editor to do the HTML for you, however, you might want to use Frontpage or Frontpage Express. Hell, you can even use Word or Excel if you wanted do, and just save your document in HTML format.

I use EditPad Pro because I like it.

I use EditPad pro for quick editing work; I've even replaced the notepad.exe for EditPad so View Source in IE launches EditPad instead of Notepad. For most general purpose html projects, I use TopStyle Pro because it is oriented towards CSS. For Php projects I use PHPed, a great php editor that has both php and mysql built in and allows me to debug on the fly.

I can't believe people are recommending FrontPage and even Word or Excell. Ugh. I'd rather jam a cactus up my ass than use any of those. For a WYSIWYG editor, the best by far is Dreamweaver. I've used it a little bit, as well as some of those other unmentionables, and it is the most feature rich product. And one very good aspect of Dreamweaver is it efficiently codes the pages. I've had to rewrite pages that were coded in just about every WYSIWYG editor there is and Dreamweaver produces the cleanest code I've seen.

Dreamweaver. It lets you edit code by hand as much as you like. It does search and replace across an entire site. It supports templates so you can change one file and make sitewide changes. And, if you really dont feel like typing <tr><td></td></tr><tr><td>..... 900 times you can jsut hit insert table 50rows x 50columns.

Anyone who tells you that a pure text editor is the best way to develop a website has never developed a large website. Also, anyone who recomends notepad doesn't even know what a good text editor is.

LOL. I've used textpad. It has its plus's. However I like VIM much more. It seems to be much more powerful.

I like homesite, mostly because it knows how to color my PHP well.
