Hammering HTML

Craig Beard helped us uncover an updated site for Derekware. Man, I haven't used that app for ages. [It] has full menu and toolbar tag selection and a customizable tag list. This is probably one of the fastest and easiest to use. And you can't beat the price, It's Free. Sweetness. Thanks, dude! For the most part, I rely on Notepad for all of my HTML coding. Dreamweaver? Dream on. HomeSite? Not in my home (since Nick stopped developing it). Hot Dog? Well, yeah – I like Sausage's stuff. Especially that little Reptile tool. What about you?

AceHTML! There's a free version at http://www.acehtml.com, but I use the registered version. Their latest release has me a little irritated with some of the things they altered, but it's still one of the better HTML tools out there.
I've never actually installed Homesite, but I still use ColdFusion Studio 4.5.2. That was the last release as an Allaire product, I believe. Some of the developers in our office claim that Allaire's Homesite was nearly identical to CF Studio, minus the CF tools. CF Studio allows you to customize your color coding for tags and includes tag completion and case matching. I haven't touched either of the newer Macromedia versions of both programs.

Notepad roxxors.

Siding with Chris a little, but despising Notepad, I swear by UltraEdit32. Pretty little app, beautifully featured, and none of those WYSWYG placement errors that seem so damn hard to correct.
Also my prefered editor for C++ and Perl. Gotta love coloured tags…

Notepad was a bit limiting for me, although it's a good app for those “quickies”.
I've been using “editplus” now for 4 months. Coloured tags, customizable, uses very little resources and disk space(minute in fact), has everything all those other apps have and more. Can even replace notepad in the shell if you want. Not to mention open websites directly in the app.
Anyways, that's my bit. Check it out here. http://www.editplus.com/
