Code editors

I’m hoping someone out there can help me out. I’m in the market for a new code editor. I’ve been using HTML-Kit for quite a while now. But I want something more advanced. I want to be able to set up projects and have customizable syntax highlighting. I use phpEd at work (from NuSphere). I’d love to use that at home, but it’s not freeware. I believe it’s rather expensive (I don’t remember how much it is). I am willing to pay if it’s good software, but I’d prefer freeware.

Tonite, I’ve downloaded TopStyle Lite and a demo of TopStyle Pro, PSPad, and Texturizer. I might try out PSPad a bit more. It’s closer to what I’m looking for.

So my dear readers (do I even have any regular readers? LOL) … I’m looking for recommendations for code editors. Anything and everything. Okay … maybe not anything. Just good ones … LOL … usability-wise. Freeware or paid software. I want to find something that I’ll use for a long time (and if it’s really good, I will shell out the money … if I have it). Thanks in advance for anyone who gives me any recommendations.

  1. I use Dreamweaver. It is the best. It isn’t free, but I got it free. Hell, I get most of my software free. Shhhh.

  2. I have Dreamweaver too. I used to use it all the time. I quit using it because all I wanted was the code editor portion of it and when I used it, it seemed to bog down my computer. That’s why I started using HTML-Kit.
