I started with notepad, but switched to MSE (Old Version Of It? :confused:) I needed to be able to test it on the fly. Now, I don't do HTML or JavaScript as much, but I use Notepad to view source. I also had some other programs in linux, but I get scared with the coldness, and don't do my HTML right... It is better to have an IDE where you can easily run it, instead of going to file>save and click the browser, then hit refresh..., at least in my opinion. I just use some of the easier to test stuff that I have...

What about vi? Or some people will probably say emacs? Then there is always pico....
In windows, I use either notepad, or firstpage (if I need on the fly viewing).

I use 1st Page 2000 on Windows and Advanced Editor on SuSE Linux 7.2. I've coded everything in hand since my first attempts (http://freespace.virgin.net/pat.waring/) with Netscape Composer didn't work too well!

Sorry man you mistook what I wrote. I did not mean to imply that that evil man had anything to do with macromedia. My bad.

I'll use front page for the sites takes a lot shorter time... but then again I do use notpad and(what we all hate but have to use) vi.

I am a diehard text editor user.
I despise Front Page (all of that useless code whyyyy is there so much? Why!?)
as well as Dreamweaver (It feels too much like Word HTML :chuck: )
I also like to use vi, gnotepad, as well as notepad and metapad.
LONG LIVE THE TEXT EDITOR!
