My Review 

I am surprised there are no other reviews for Taco HTML Edit. I am a web developer and I couldn't possibly imagine using any other web development software.

The built-in PHP preprocessor/interpreter and Live Preview has sped up my development tremendously such that I do not have to keep uploading changes to the live site every time I need to test it, nor do I even have to preview it in a browser on my system most of the time. But, its got a built-in easy access button for that also.

I don't know if there are any other HTML editors for Mac that are decent because I haven't needed to look anywhere else. For the ridiculously low price, Taco was a goldmine.

Don't let the strange name of the program fool you, this is a hard-core development environment... at least for HTML, CSS, PHP and Javascript. What is lacking? A built-in MySQL database is the only thing I can think of at the moment.

Would you recommend this to a friend?
