TopStyle is an editor for CSS editing, with some nice auto-completion, collapsible style rules etc. When I started using it, it was produced by a company called Allaire, which was then acquired by Macromedia back in 2001 (practically killing off the development of a great tool). It’s plain and simple, yet very flexible to adapt to your needs. I’ve used HomeSite since 1998 and most of the time I have been very content with it. It depends on what platform I work on, but these are my favorite editors (of which I strongly recommend all of them): On a PC Macromedia HomeSite It has to contain a wealth of keyboard shortcuts, that can be attached to the snippets, and it should also be extremely simple to link a piece of text and insert an image. I want tools that just help me to easily insert snippets for code I use all the time, and for closing HTML tags. Therefore, I have always liked plain editors for writing code that is completely clean without any “smart” formatting added, code adapted etc. Personally, I’m not a big fan of IDEs because, most of the time, they contain way too many things that I don’t need, they become slow to work with, and in the worst cases, you don’t have a 100% control. Therefore, it’s always interesting to ask for someone’s favorite editor. I’ve been working with the web for almost 9 years now, and I’ve encountered a spectrum of web developers and their preferred tools during that time. What editor do you use?
