The title/poll is self-explanatory: what's your favorite IDE/software to create and edit your code?

 

I'm using notepad2, but I really miss the tabs feature.

DW and HomeSite (was not specified).

Another vote for Netbeans from me but...

start up times are painfully slow when you have a lot of projects on the go.

Generally a great all-rounder though :)

I'd love to change my vote. I'm using Komodo Edit since last week and I'm loving it! Very fast, lightweight and has almost all the features I need.

start up times are painfully slow when you have a lot of projects on the go.

 

I don't find it particularly slow, but then I tend to only have one or at the most two projects open at once. Try closing them. ;)

haha, at home I generally have 1 or 2 projects on the go at the same time but work is a different matter (normally 10 or 12 large(ish) projects on the go) so I put up with the slow start up. tbh, once it has started up, it's fine. For quick edits, however, I use geany.

Notepad++ for me but I've been meaning to try out some alternatives.

I work now in Codelobster PHP Edition.

It's very comfortable and free PHP, HTML, CSS, JavaScript editor.

The last version become Portable, that allows to install it on the flash drive

and use it on any computer

Want to mark the presence of PHP debugger, that make this editor valuable PHP IDE.

 

+it have special plugins for autocomplete and context help for

Drupal, Joomla, JQuery, Smarty, WordPress, Facebook, CakePHP and CodeIgniter.

I use Eclipse or Netbeans the majority of the time.

Another +1 here for Netbeans. Yes it can be a bit slow "scanning projects" if you have a few open at once.

The new version is HTML5 and CCS3 compliant, and haven't really got a bad word to say about it. Debugging can be a bit tricky to get underway, but they give clearer instructions as to the config now (I think they have a generator on their site).

Its easy to miss been right down at the bottom of the list.

Eclipse and Netbeans (Depending what I'm doing). I prefer to use Eclipse though, as its the best IDE for the types of development work I do.

 

(I'm sure there is already a thread about this, http://www.webdesignerforum.co.uk/topic/47955-so-what-idesoftware-do-you-use-to-code/)

 

 

Oh crap, should have searched. Any mods out there care to delete this thread?

Worth the money? It's free.

 

NetBeans is not just free. It's open-source! That means you can take the source code, modify it, and sell it. Although there are some restrictions on what you can do with the source code because of the nature of the open-source license, there is nothing to stop you from profiting from selling a NetBeans 'remix'.

I personally use dreamweaver and PHP designer 7, though i use PHP designer more I just usually use dreamweaver to test the page / site as it is set up with a testing sever
