Top WYSIWYG Web Development Editors in 2015

Greetings fellow warriors

I've been getting allot of questions lately regarding what the best Editor to use for web development projects is in 2015 - it seems there are quite a few more options available today than lets say 10 years ago when 85% of us were hand building our websites using the infamous Dreamweaver. Now that Dreamweaver has abandoned its stand alone api for the cloud & a $50 a month membership fee, what other options are out there that are 1. Free & 2. User friendly

Personally I have been using the same 4 Free Editors interchangeably for my entire career as a web developer (10+ years now) and I still find these 4 to be the best options for editors in 2015, not to mention they are all FREE

1. Notepad++ (Without a doubt my all time favorite)

2. Komodo Edit

3. Aptana (Just started using this a few months ago via recommendation from a friend, very impressed with it so far)

4. openElement



What are your thoughts?

      Nice one Quadagon - Ive been hearing allot about expression and that they had a bit of a rough start when first release - lots of cross platform issues & no server side capability? Whats your personal review of expression now that youve used it Dagon?

    Actually Expression Web has been discontinued and no further support is available. The software works, though, as well as ever but it is becoming outdated with the last update 2 or 3 years ago.

      lol story of Microsofts life... whenever they encounter issues they never attempt to fix / patch - instead they simply release v.8.9383893893 or they abandon the project all together - Poor Expression though, seems like it had some potential - So i guess we can all agree to use expression at your own risk - Thanks for the heads up Mark
