Aptana Studio Web Development IDE

A community member who uses the name of Fatal email me today. He said he was looking for an alternative to Dreamweaver, and came across Aptana. This is a free, open-source application, and wanted me to try it out.
Aptana Studio 1.0 is indeed an open-source application… for the community version. There is, of course, a Pro version, which is right around $100.00. The caveat to this program at first glance is that it is Java-based. Not to diss any Java programmers out there, but let’s face it. Java is just doggy at times.
If you look past the speed issues, you’ll probably be quite happy with Aptana. There is a lot of troubleshooting built in, and not just for HTML. You’ll also find support for CSS, Javascript, and more. There are tons of features in this program, much more than I would normally expect from an open-source project… especially in its early release stages. This is definitely going to be something to keep an eye on. With a 1.0 version this good already, it will be interesting to see what the developers do with future versions.

Aptana is fine on a decent machine. It takes a while to load up on winxp for me. On linux(ubuntu), it’s good.
I also like Quanta Plus, it’s a KDE app on linux.

I use flashDevelop. As you can tell from the name it’s a actionscript/flex IDE mostly. But you can also write html, css, and php with code highlighting and auto complete.

You must be new to programming. Aptana is built on Eclipse. Eclipse uses native widget sets and AWT, so when you say Aptana is slow because it’s built in Java, we’ll that’s just not quite right.

When coding xhtml, css, php, js, ajax on windows i used homesite 5.5 with all features turned off (mainly just used it for tabbed editors & color syntax) but i have since switched over to linux as primary OS and im now using zend studios. Its a very slow program (java), but im really liking the built in php features.

I use EditPad Lite for html and PHP coding. I would hardly do without PixelRuler and ColorCop for the design.
