0 Seahorsepip Veteran Posted February 25, 2014 Veteran Share Posted February 25, 2014 Notepad++ with maybe some additional plugins like jslint and others and Sublime text with maybe also some plugins that suit your needs, I personally use notepad++ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 spacer Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Free? I like Visual Studio Express Not Free? Webstorm by JetBrains. Hands down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 astropheed Veteran Posted February 25, 2014 Veteran Share Posted February 25, 2014 PHP Storm by Jetbrains (honestly anything by Jetbrains is great). It's by far the best I've ever used, and I've used far too many. Although, I've yet to use "Webstorm" which spacer recommended. If it's by Jetbrains, it's good. I also use PyCharm as my primary Python creator. Another Jetbrains program. Max Norris 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does have multiple, I guess they're probably called w3c *something * plugin, personally I use zen coding so I don't actually write the basic attributes inside a img or a or whatever anymore.

0 wrack Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 I was going to say Visual Studio Express but then I see you mentioned PHP. Visual Studio can be used for PHP with extensions but I am not sure if Express can support them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 sbauer Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Sublime 2 / 3, it's also cross platform which is really nice. I wouldn't spend any money on it unless you're satisfied with v2 as is and are OK with possibly not getting another update. It has been months since there was any update on V3. The beta was announced June and the last build was posted in mid December. People on the forum are wondering if the application is dead. GitHub is working on their own editor (https://atom.io/). That should be something to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 SkyyPunk Veteran Posted March 3, 2014 Veteran Share Posted March 3, 2014 Another vote for PHPStorm or WebStorm (I think WebStorm contains PHPStorm functionality, unless I have it backwards). JetBrains makes great tools! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 sbauer Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 TextMate suffered from the same thing, and really what _is_ wrong with Sublime 2? I didn't say there was anything wrong with it. Just said don't pay for it unless you're OK with possibly not getting updates, which is quite true. I also think it was important to let the OP know that the developer hasn't said anything in months. I'd hate to spend $70 on a product that came recommended only to realize that it's not going to be updated anymore. I have a problem with paying for something and then having the developer/company disappearing without saying a word. Seems to be quite common for text editors. (e text editor, sublime? Intype, textmate at one point). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 snaphat (Myles Landwehr) Member Posted March 3, 2014 Member Share Posted March 3, 2014 TextMate suffered from the same thing, and really what _is_ wrong with Sublime 2? I was under the impression that there are a number of issues with Sublime 2 or so I've heard others who use it tell me (one moved to vim eventually). I tested it briefly about 6 months ago and it wouldn't split-view correctly in Windows for me. There's an unofficial bug tracker: https://github.com/SublimeText/Issues/issues?labels=T%3A+bug&page=1&state=open I didn't say there was anything wrong with it. Just said don't pay for it unless you're OK with possibly not getting updates, which is quite true. I also think it was important to let the OP know that the developer hasn't said anything in months.

I have a problem with paying for something and then having the developer/company disappearing without saying a word. Seems to be quite common for text editors. (e text editor, sublime? Intype, textmate at one point). Those are the exact sentiments I heard when testing it. I was wary of switching to it for those reasons. Especially version 2 since the developer had evidently mostly abandoned updates for that and left known issues in place (at least that's what I was told, I never used it long enough to find said issues other than the one I mention above).
