For free editors I like PS Pad, lots of advanced features.

editor PSPad - freeware HTML editor, PHP editor, XHTML, JavaScript, ASP, Perl, C, HEX editor

I used to use Ultra Edit prior to that.

  I still use Ultra Edit for most (especially when I need to quickly edit a file), but I've started using Eclipse for some things (java and php).

I use quite a few different editors. At the moment most of my projects all are simple projects, so I'm using tools like 'vi', 'TextMate', 'NetBeans', and 'Eclipse'.

vi is my favorite with Dreamweaver in second place behind that.

I began using Artister about a year ago and found that I needed a good HTML editor to clean up and make changes to the HTML that artister created. I tried several editors, but really fell in love with Coffee Cup HTML Editor. It's not too expensive and has quite a few features that come in handy.

UltraEdit is my favourite editor to edit HTML/CSS/PHP and other files. It is simple to use and easy to understand. Also it has some essential features. It provides support for syntax highlighting, code folding, macros, and lots of similar features available to most of the rest.

I use a Mac and have to say that I like Coda. However, I tend to use Komodo most of the time. It's more robust for PHP work.

I've used the commercial version and it's great! But I'm not paying for upgrades every year, so I just use the free "Komodo Edit".

Tim Brownlaw 15 years ago

I'm a text editor guy, so Kate on Kubuntu and PSPad on Windows.

Really anything that has good syntax highlighting, which most do these days, is a must.

I must have some kind of strange phobia against any kind of IDE, but then I like to be at the "coal face" so to speak. Blame Frontpage, way back in the old days for that!

Cheers
Tim

This is a really convenient function that allows you to view and edit more text. It comes hand especially with the small screen of the iPhone. It is a feature carried over from the old CPM operating system days, and even though certain programming languages crash if a line of code is broken at the wrong place, there are other applications where word wrap is useful.

  For larger projects I use NetBeans, since it has all the management features like subversion integrated.
  
  And for smaller, quick edits I use Notepad ++ just like many other people here on the thread.
  
  If you want to do specialized tasks you may want to look for special XML editors or CSS editors that provide you with nice drop-down menus etc.
