What Editor Do You Use And Why

    What text-editor are you using to write code and why? Fair Warning if you say Dreamweaver or some other joke of an IDE I might make fun of you.

    I'm currently using sublime 2 but up until very recently I was a die hard TextMate fan and I supplemented it's shortcomings in MacVim when necessary. I've found with sublime 2 that I don't often have a great need for Vi anymore though.

    I recently just switched from TextMate to Chocolat (http://chocolatapp.com/). The name sounds ridiculous but so far I really like it. It seems so light weight and for me it just seems to get out of the way and lets me code.

    Use Editplus as its IDE has sophisticated features like syntax highlighting , auto-complete .
    BTW: I use it exclusively for PHP

    dreamweaver is for people who don't know how to acutally write code in my eyes. It's handy if you know what you are doing as it can save you time but it's crap for beginners.

    I started of with phase5 for my Win machine and now using Coda2 for my Mac with is pretty awesome

    I've used UltraEdit before, but right now i just use NotePad++, or on big projects i use DreamWeaver. And don't flame. It's a great tool, you only make fun of it for no reasons. The WysiWyg is useless yes, but it has a great syntax highlighted coding area and built in project management with FTP, its great. no matter what you think about it :)

    In windows I use notepad++. I've tried that ecplise plugin (the name escapes me) and I liked that also.
    In *nix, its always vim for me though.

    Dreamweaver is the best. This product is the most widely used and professional web editor available. Capable of designing, developing and maintaining websites and web-based applications - Dreamweaver is the most advance product on the market. One of the features that separates Dreamweaver from most other web editors - is it templates functionality. This make designing and maintaining websites are simpler task. Template also allows locking of design so that web-editors don't have to bother about that - or worry about messing up the site.

    I think all serious Web developers should have Dreamweaver ready just in case they have to deal with a Web project where the previous developer used templetes. I don't personally use templates because I use enough PHP includes to make templetes pointless. But, I have had to edit another developer's templete before and using Dreamweaver it wasn't a problem.

    Sublime Text 2 is my favourite.
    I have tried loads of different editors and sublime is the best one I have used by far. Its also very aesthetically pleasing, especially when working for long times.
    I really like the coloured syntax and the code hints.

    I used to use dreamweaver purely for the code help. (IE: it automatically puts </div> after you type <div>) Saved a lot of typing.

    Sublime has everything I need. I use Lifehacker Texter to save my most common used codes into shortcuts.
