Hey,

What's your favorite HTML/PHP/Whatever editor?

I hate WYSIWYG, it slows me down a lot, and I should use the mouse with that.

So my vote is for VIM... If I want something WYSIWYGi, my vote going for Kompozer, it's open source, so I like it :)

What's your choice?

Anyway, any editor will work great with some

WYSIWYG editors are for complete noobs. They produce bloated, inaccessible, not compatible code which won't render properly in all browsers, will be completely broken in voice readers, pagers, pdas or cellphones. Markup will be absolutely horrific, not semantic and very confusing.

You can always tell the difference between bloated inaccessible website coded in WYSIWYG editor and clean, minimal, semantic, accessible hand-coded one (though some noobs who code by hand are able to produce as crappy code as Dreamweaver or Frontpage - that gives me a headache).

No professional webdesigners (who actually make living coding and work for big companies) use WYSIWYG editors. Top-notch coders mostly use some plain text editors with some higlighting features etc...

Notepad++
PSPad

etc

Nevermind being a bitch for the search engines to read.

I use phpDesigner, Got it back in the day before he charged for it... I'ts Pretty sweet :-)
 
Yep. Search engine spiders like semantic and clean code because of structural information present in it. That's why standards compliant pages get indexed more accurately.

btw you quoted my post just as I was editing it :)
 
Have you checked VIM at least?

It's the best solution for writing code, and it's damn light, and comes with each linux installations. So if you have an SSH access to your hosting, you should have it...

Anyway, forgot to say that for heavy Drupal coding, I use Zend Development Enviroment. It's totally the best IDE ever made, the only downside is that it's damn to heavy....
 
Hand-coding in Dreamweaver, plus Photoshop slices exported directly to HTML (and then dreamweaver) for getting really sloppily coded table-ridden landing page tests done in minutes :).

I think that Dreamweaver CS3 is actually pretty good at the whole WYSIWYG part for CSS, but I still prefer to do CSS by hand.
 
I've been handcoding, mostly, for Wordpress-based sites. (Modding lots of themes and stock lp's).

Does anyone know of a Mac-compatible version of phpdesigner (or something like it)?
