Which editor do you use any why?

I'm looking to start using an HTML editor or an IDE to create web pages.

I've been doing it the old fashioned way for a while now (vi editor, typing out all tags).

What are some good open source/GPL wysiwyg editors?

Thanks for the info!

 

Why on earth would you want to use a WYSIWYG if you understand HTML and CSS?

However, I hear some good things about NVU

 

I also use NVU. its free and easy to use.

 

Looking for more efficiency / Get things done faster

Hoping I can turn a 4 hour project into a 2.5 hour project.

 

I used to make simple pages with dreamweaver even though I understand html/css and a little php and javascript. But once I found out that I really don't use most of the functions of dreamweaver, and I needed something lighter, that could run faster without eating much memory, I turned to UltraEdit.
For some time I used both of them, UltraEdit for quick jobs and Dreamweaver for more complex ones. But with newer versions of both softwares they just became heavier and heavier with lot of features which I didn't really need, and so I had to do one more change.
I was hearing lots of good stuff about Notepad++ but never really decided to try it. A few weeks ago I got sick of UltraEdit, because I had some bugs with it, and I switched to Notepad++. I think this is the best and lightest of the three. Really like the simplicity and logical menus. Now I'm starting to like it better and better every day, it is a lot similar to UltraEdit really only it is lighter and faster. I suggest you should try it.


EDIT: sorry I misunderstood, I thought you want to get rid of wysiwyg editors and start using a plain editor .. silly me :S

 

Are you also looking to turn your 30 second debugging job into a 4 hour one?

 

Are you implying they write bad code?

I really have no experience with them. That is why I ask.

 

Even Dreamweaver, which is considered one of the leaders of WYSIWYG editors writes bad code.

While I was using Dreamweaver, I've only used its code editor and used the wysiwyg mode only for preview, or to create some complex tables, while tables were the man When I concluded this, I decided to use simple editor for primary use.

If you are still determined to use wysiwyg, you can try this guy: Aptana Studio
I haven't really used it myself, I tried it only once and I think it looked nice at first glance, but I have heard a lot of good rumors about it.

Good luck with your choice.

 

Thanks for the input

Maybe I'll stick with my good ol' vi editor.

 

To ditto what everyone else said. I use vi, too.

 

Notepad++ cause I don't need anything else...:/

 

I use dreamweaver CS3 and hand coding. I found that a mixer a both allows me to have full control over ever aspect of the development process, but also allows for some speedy results.
