Since I often use text editors (e.g. Notepad and TextPad), I use TopStyle Lite to create stylesheets or for quick CSS code building or to look up forgotten attributes or value types. When I use HomeSite, I use the integrated TopStyle Lite (that is where I was introduced to BradSoft’s TopStyle). I also setup TopStyle Lite as CSS editor for those times I use MS FrontPage and Nvu.
Occasionally, I use Amaya and make note of CSS information Amaya makes known; however, I have not used Amaya to code or create CSS.
When I do use DreamWeaver, I appreciate that style information is built in but not as much as I appreciate TopStyle Lite.
Now, I must find time to check out the other CSS editors you listed, Jennifer.
I use Notepad++.
It’s not specifically a CSS editor, but I think it does the job great.
TopStyle Lite are great, but it has 2 negative aspects: doesn´t have search and undo, which makes some tasks harder…
I also use Notepad++ to edit CSS and PHP.
