Contribute Fridays: What are your favorite editors to work in?

Posted on 10/02/09 in blog, development about , ,

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?

  1. As far as visual, I use Photoshop, with a splash of Illustrator. Editor wise, I like Notepad++ on PC and TextMate on Mac.

  2. Brian says:

    Notepad++ hands down

  3. Photoshop for visual.
    Netbeans for proper IDE.
    Notepad++ for text-editor.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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..

  7. It is easy to attempt Dreamweaver or Expression Net.
