What web design software do you use?

I like Dreamweaver, but i want to know what other software exists, besides DW, which one do you use?

Any ol' text editor will do. Syntax highlighting and line numbers are a plus.

OTHER: My brain. You can write html/css/javascript/php with a pencil if you have to, but unless you know HOW it works its still just text.

These are all editors:
Aptana and Eclipse are good editors (Aptana is an extended version of eclipse).
PHP Design
e-texteditor
notepad++

All joking aside, I'm quite partial to Coda and TextWrangler on my Mac and Notepad++ on windows. Dreamweaver has gotten way to bloated to be useful as a daily editor.

I haven't used Aptana in a while. Has it gotten more stable now?

Nice, hahaha ...
Well, besides the brain, i think my hands, if not, how am i supossed to write the coding i'm thinking?

I use Adobe Dream...I would like to what other applications are available

Personally, I use Notepad++.Notepad++ is used by many coders, BUT... it is only useful if you know how to code by hand. It is not a WYSIWYG editor. The best thing about Notepad++, though, is that you can use it to hand-code in many different programming languages. Oh, I forgot to mention that it's also FREE, as well.

I use gedit when I'm on my Ubuntu system, I try to do the majority of my work on Ubuntu. When I'm on my Windows system and find myself needing to do something, I use Notepad2. I've tried gedit for Windows and it just doesn't feel the same on Windows as it does on a Gnome desktop.

Other: phpDesigner - best application I have ever used for coding.

What no love for Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2010 Express?

When Microsoft learns to make a web browser (exhibit: win phone 7 browser based on IE7 and IE9 CSS3 support) I'll consider their dev tools. As of now there's not much benefit if your not writing .net

You know what, I'm going to forgo all of the Microsoft per-conceptions for once and give this Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2010 Express a try.

I've never heard of it, haven't tried anything for web development from Microsoft since Frontpage 7 or so years ago, and I'm feeling curious.

// Edit - After waiting over an hour for it to install I gave up and hit the cancel button. Another 15 minutes later it finally quit doing whatever it was doing and said "You've successfully installed ..." so I gave it a whirl. I can see how this tool might come in handy if everything you're using already comes from Microsoft, I couldn't even get it to open one of my existing sites via the built-in FTP connector though. It connected, but for whatever reason it was giving me a gzipped copy of the files as if it was requesting them via HTTP.

I'd rather use something like Dreamweaver if I were going to use a tool suite like this. As it sits though, my Gnome desktop by itself is an easier to use website management platform.

None whatsoever ... I have had experience with .net (VB) In VWDE and PHP in PHPDesigner and I have formed my opinion on both languages and applications ... VWDE is basically the same thing as PHPDesigner, the one is just for .net and the other for PHP, so from an application point of view they're both pretty good ...

I prefer using PHP over .net any day ... I remember wanting to just insert an image into my .net site and then the code is 2-3 lines long, it's way too much code for what it actually does ...

Well I used Dreamweaver when I first started learning all of these languages, but for some time now I have stuck solely with Notepad++.

It's the best.
