Coffee Cup HTML Editor

It does everything I could need, and it's excellent for 'ripping' we sites too.
—Micronair

There's no other choice!

Dreamweaver is the best (albeit most expensive) on the market.
—Guest ChasingTexas

Expression Web

I didn't like Frontpage at all, but Expression Web is a great change, and it's so much cheaper than Dreamewver with all the same features.

HTML Kit & Dreamweaver

I've used several different editor's from frontpage, topstyle, arachnaphillia, coffeecup, to dreamweaver and HTML kit. Of all of them I use dreamweaver the most and HTML Kit next. In dreamweaver, I like the fact that I can open my entire site and view the code, upload the new pages using the internal ftp, and I have never had any problems using it. Also Dreamweaver has HTML Tidy which finds and corrects coding errors (HTML KIT does as well) and they both use color-coding to mark the code for easier reading. Both are great but Dreamweaver is a bit more stable. However, HTML Kit is free; I got dreamweaver through a class I took for college but if I wanted to upgrade it would be cost prohibitive. Desptite that, Dreamweaver is still the best.

best web editor

#1 namo webeditor is the first webeditor that I used since the past 10 years and would like to make it the best webeditor ever created. #2 coffeecup webeditor is a nice contender, but needs to improve on certain aspects

Komodo Edit

http://www.activestate.com/komodo_edit/ - It's free, works on Windows, Mac and Linux and provides a great number of features. Why pay for an editor when there is a great free option.
—Guest Mark Knapp

Microsoft Visual Studio

Microsoft Visual Studio Professional is by far the best HTML Editor available.
—Guest Levi

OK I have two to nominate

Aptana (a full IDE) and KompoZer (a new beta version but very GUI)
—Guest Dwight Blubaugh

Coffecup and phpDesigner 7

I use both IDE editors. Where Coffeecup is a great IDE, I am tending to favor phpDesigner over CoffeeCup. However I do love the features in CoffeCup as well. I am a hard coder. So WYSIWYG editing is not for me as they always mess up my code.
—Guest John Boone

Notepad ++

Excellent, freeware editor. Lot's of plug ins. Code completion. FTP support. it's all there. Edits HTML, CSS, PHP without any problem. This is a tool from a programmer for a programmer. When you outgrow the standard editors this is the editor to pick
—Guest Peter Felis

CoffeeCup HTML Editor

I love this program, I love the company, I love their support, and I love all of the other programs this team makes and they deserve to win!!
—Guest Catz

Coffee Cup Html Editor

Easy to use, great support. nice set of starting templates. Been using it for at least 10 years. They make it better all the time too.
—Guest HappyUser

Coffeecup HTML Editor

Intuitive, with built in code-reference pages, CSS editing, everything you need.
—Guest Stuart Hodgson

Coffee Cup HTML Editor

I have been using Coffee Cup programs for years and would not consider any other. The HTML Editor is very user friendly. I highly recommend it for anyone, especially new users.
—Guest Cathy Knapp

CoffeeCup HTML Editor

CoffeeCup HTML Editor is just so easy to use, no real experience is needed!
