Currently, my top 3 is:
- Sublime Text 3
- FlashFxp
- Chrome Dev Tools

Which frontend tools do you use on a regular base and would you suggest to others? I'm curious since I don't know if my tools are still the best out there

    • I generally use Netbeans. It's free and very high quality, does syntax highlighting in just about any language and plays well with version control systems. The only problem I've had is that it can be really slow when accessing files over a network connection. But if you keep your files locally, this isn't an issue.

      I also recommend Eclipse (or for an expensive PHP-version, Zend Studio). Also high quality and free with syntax highlighting, etc. I find it a little more clunky than Netbeans, but others say the exact opposite, so I'd recommend trying both.

      Finally, you can't go wrong with VI or Vim (or even Emacs for those who are so inclined!)

      My go-to tools are Notepad++, WAMP server, And as mentioned before the developers tools in Firefox have been invaluable in debugging in the browser.
