Comment wysiwyg's and text editors (Score 2, Informative) 140
Well, I'm not as seasoned as many who post here, and I have to admit that I used to be a dreamweaver evangelist. Although I never really enjoyed having closing tags written out for me when I type, nor do I appreciate waiting MINUTES for the application to start up, and, to be completely honest, I've never used the built in ftp software, ever.
After years of Dreamweaver web development, I've switched to the much simpler Notepad++( http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/uk/site.htm ). It seems that as my confidence grows as a developer, the less I really need an IDE - and the more I appreciate the simple text editor with syntax highlighting. Notepad++ has every language I develop in, I highly recommend it.
