    Default Preferential HTML editor Programs

    I was just wondering which programs people prefer to use when making webpages. I know some people like Dreamweaver, and others Frontpage. I personally would rather die than use either of those. So instead I stick with the notepad. What are some of the pros and cons of the many colorful choices of programs?

    Vim is one of the best editors out there, but takes a little while to get to grips with.
    Kate is very nice. Requires KDE though.

    I use notepad because I have had some... errr... bad experiences with Dreamweaver. Mainly codes that don't actually work. So I said screw it and now I use an extremely rudimentary "style" of HTML. I know how to make a table!!! Yay. lol. I'm not very good... That's why I love DD.

    Coding by hand in dreamweaver. It helps by coloring the code as I type (to get a visual depiction of the general layout is nice), and makes it go faster by using the default stuff, like pressing enter instead of typing </p><p>... but I usually code by hand, within DW.

    i suggest using Coffe Cup html editor. it has a nifty menu on the side with tabs,
    Each tab respectively:
    1. Shows/enables you to open files from your websites directory,(C://) and lets you upload your pages and junk via FTP.
    2. Tags, Lists all tags. useful (click on <a></a>, and <a></a> is put in your webpage where your verticle blinking text line is.)
      also lists href=""/Class="" for the respective tag. also includes basic PHP funcions
    3. Javascript
    4. Dhtml
    5. snippets (all random bits of code) not very useful...
    6. ampersand characters list (self Explanitory)

    also has a preview tab on the top. its free. uhh... url....is... somewhere....
    Ah here it is.. http://www.coffeecup.com/

    Come back once it validates: HTML, CSS, JS.

    I'm proud to say I've never used a WYSIWYG editor... I didn't even know they existed until I could code a page by hand
