Which Web Development Tool Do You Use?

I used BBEdit most of the time, but have recently been going back to skEdit.

 

[ExoticFish]

SubEthaEdit and vi

What is web development anyway?

for me, web development would be a server side application logic.
the client side would go to web design.

But would that be a valid distinction? Not likely, Client side applications are frequently used - e.g. flash, does anyone still develop java applets? All that CSS and Javascript definately goes into the design corner.

For the uninitiated, what is BBEdit? A souped up text editor? Let me know its appeal.

I have Dreamweaver open and in use 10+ hours a day. It's the most efficient solution for myself.

vi

currently for php/css/mysql

BBEdit is available from Bare Bones Software, a company that also features a stripped-down version of their editor, called TextWrangler.

I use TextEdit for this purpose. You'll need to check the box in preferences that says "ignore rich text commands in HTML files" to see the raw HTML - otherwise you get a WYSIWYG-like view.

 

[kgarner]

SubEthaEdit for me.

I use DreamWeaver but mainly due to it's code formating abilities, silly that it can not format css. When I am in Dreamweaver I only use code view, never use layout view because it still fails to understand some css.

When I am on the go and don't want to kill my laptop battery I use textEdit. Of the two, I prefer textEdit because it allows me to think a bit more where DreamWeaver dumbs me down while I write my markup.

vim

 

[jalagl]

Dreamweaver for JSP UI design, JBuilder for server-side application logic.

Dreamweaver, but I really only use it as a text editor/FTP application rather than a WYSIWYG editor.

I use Dreamweaver for timesaving - if I need to format a lot of text for example. It's also a nice IDE for working on web applications, with the inbuilt FTP client, code hints and syntax highlighting.

For 'little' jobs, I either use TextEdit, or the built-in editor in 'Transmit'.

For me,

web design on adobe illustrator, photoshop, macromedia fireworks.

web development on macromedia dreamweaver (php/asp/jsp or css), textedit for javabeans, microsoft visual for .net so on

for flash sites, design on photoshop, macromedia flash, swift 3D/ development on macromedia flash+dreamweaver.

for servlets/server app, textedit or vim depending on language used... mostly java

 

[ipacmm]

I use Dreamweave for web development and for server side, I use BBEdit.

 

[crees!]

Dreamweaver, Flash, Photoshop. My tools of choice!

 

[pimentoLoaf]

A demo of GoLive 5 affixed to a magazine had me interested enough to buy the full product, though I should've bought the Web Development suite of Photoshop, Illustrator, GoLive, and LiveMotion, as the combined cost of all those things was hundreds cheaper than everything separate.

I've used Dreamweaver for some time, but I am currently testing jEdit to see if I can work in an all-code environment. I'm hoping it works, as jEdit is free.
