HTML Editor Question

I've been out of the loop for a LONG time! I can not remember the editor I used, if I bought it or used a free one. I just remember it was easy . I guess I'm asking for suggestions, please.

In a search, I came across "Page Breeze" and wondering if anyone has any experience or thoughts with this program? It's a free program but you can purchase a "professional" version which I may consider.

Any suggestions are much appreciated!

Thanks so much!

Jean

    If you would like a professional-grade Editor, which can be used for not only HTML but CSS, JavaScript, PHP, try the Codelobster PHP editor. It's free and superb. I use it to code in every language I know.

    CodeLobster - Free portable PHP IDE with support Drupal, Smarty, WordPress, Joomla, JQuery, CodeIgniter, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, CakePHP, Facebook, Symfony, Yii

    If you want a basic HTML editor that is free and quite nice, try the CoffeeCup HTML Editor:

      I haven't used it, but NVU is still around and often gets recommended.

        Its not for everyone, but Ive found Jedit is truly awesome. Especially the ability to have multiple views on one file and they instantly update all views as you update on of them.

        It has a lot of very useful plugins and can be configured to do almost anyhting.

    Page Breeze looks like a WYSIWYG editor.. and the code it produces looks exactly like that -> $#?!&

    tables used for layout purposes, crap JS code, useless stuff...

    However, professionals use text editors...

    Notepad++ (my favourite, with Zen Coding plugin) or any other text editor is doing it's job perfectly...

    On Windows I'm using Akelpad which is free, extremely lightweight and extendable with tons of plugins.

    My Mac favorite is BBEdit - not free but powerful right out the box and has a great support.

      If you want to hand code, Aptana is a good free editor.

      If you are looking for a WYSIWYG editor, try XSitepro (old, but still works well) or Xara Web Designer.

      I like netbeans for coding projects, although it is a bit heavy on system resources.

      Komodo edit is a nice all round editor also.

    Here's a List of a few code editors and whether they are free or paid:

    1. Notepad - Free
    2. Notepad++ - Free
    3. Sublime Text - Paid
    4. Dreamweaver - Paid
    5. NetBeans - Free

    I personally use NetBeans and I think it's the best. Not only is it easy to use but it keeps my work very organised. moreover it has several in-built code help functions, displays errors and suggests solutions, it allows you to view your files and connect with ease, and has pre-written codes, functions and plugins that help a programmer big time!
