I have been using TopStyle 3 for years, before that Homesite (now defunct) which I loved. It's 2010 and I feel the need for a new text editor which can handle things like HTML5, PHP and the usual software which you use (Photoshop, FTP {which I would love to have built in}, and the browsers you need, etc.). I am using a Windows set up and can't change that. What do you like, what do you suggest?

I have tried Dreamweaver and I am a lot better with the text editor sort of thing than I am with WYSIWYG set ups.

I would like a few luxuries with it like tag finishing, snippets, FTP, the ability to preview your work before putting it up.
 
notepad ++ is great, but the OP was asking for code completion and notepad++ does not do that

How about Komposer? Has anyone tried that one? It was the one I started with long ago and it has an HTML section along with a wysiwyg section. Just curious.

As a text editor, it's very limited. As a WYSIWYG HTML editor, it's not bad for free. I have it, but only rarely use it, and not for web pages I publish online, just for local docs that I happen to want into HTML format. Komposer has a habit of reformatting code in ways you don't want to, which gets on my nerve.
