Contribute Fridays: What are your favorite editors to work in?
Since it’s Friday and Fridays are awesome, let’s make a tradition. Every Friday I’m going to open up the blog post for all of us to answer a set question with your favorite answer. Ready? Let’s go!
What is your favorite visual and code editor to work in?
My obvious answer is the good ol’ Photoshop and Dreamweaver. I use Dreamweaver because it keeps all my files organized, has a built in FTP and has a warning when uploading files, if someone else has uploaded a newer version than yours (which I don’t find in other FTPs). Plus it came with CS3 and since I paid so much for those stupid set of programs, might as well use them ![]()
What are yours?

As far as visual, I use Photoshop, with a splash of Illustrator. Editor wise, I like Notepad++ on PC and TextMate on Mac.
Notepad++ hands down
Photoshop for visual.
Netbeans for proper IDE.
Notepad++ for text-editor.
Gimp/Photoshop for visual using an Intuos4 pad.
VIM all the way for any programming task.
Eclipse or Netbeans for Java if I don’t use VIM.
GVim for a text-editor.
I use Aptana + (Jquery, SVN, PDT plugins) for coding. I am a developer so i dont use photoshop or another graphics editor, but i want to learn the basics of them.
Aptana has a FTP manager like dreamweaver too, and it’s free software!
Firefox, Linux and lampp too.
I downloaded Aptana but it wouldn’t open for me at all in Snow Leopard…just spinned forever in the loading screen.
I have to use Photoshop to slice the designers’ PSDs, otherwise I would nix that as well, have had a few good suggestions for PS replacers, so I’ll check them out when I have some free time.
You can use it as a plugin to eclipse too. but you will lost some of the features of it.
Do you can tell me this suggestions, please? I’m searching for a good alternative to use in linux environment.
thanks..
It is easy to attempt Dreamweaver or Expression Net.
