Poll: Which Web editor do you use?

Thursday July 3, 2008

I was asked today what editors people use and while I have an old poll asking the question, it's over 2 years old and doesn't include such popular editors as FrontPage. So I decided to ask again. There are hundreds if not thousands of Web editors available. So it's quite possible that I didn't include your favorite on the list. If so, you can reply in the comments with the editor your prefer.

Personally, I prefer Homesite, but I've recently switched to a Mac for most of my work, and Homesite isn't available for Mac. So now I use several different editors, depending upon the site I'm working on and the content. I use Dreamweaver, Komodo IDE, and TextWrangler. The majority of my work I do in Dreamweaver.

I didn't include Flash because while it's possible to use it to build a complete website, I don't think that's a really good idea. If that is the only Web editor that you use, please mark the "other" option and post a comment.

One thing to keep in mind is that just because one editor is more popular than another doesn't necessarily make it the best. I have reviewed hundreds of different editors, and I've only found one that I couldn't recommend in any circumstances. If you're looking for a new editor, I have a a questionnaire that can help.
