Coda for Mac OS X. A close second is Textmate for Mac OS X.

I've always been big on using Dreamweaver 8's code view and only switching to design when I need to. I enjoy the flexibility of the editor, even though you can only get it when you're in code view.
I am, however, considering the possibility of using Notepad as I like coding in that too. __________________________________ |

That's what I like about Coda - I don't think I'd be able to live without anymore. I think you'll miss out on that if you use Notepad++. __________________________________ |

I do use it, but it's just too slow.

I think CS3s FTP has improved slightly over Dreamweaver 8s. Give it a try.

I use SmartFTP and I find it far better than Dreamweaver's built in FTP, and it pairs well with Notepad++. __________________________________ |

I use dreamweaver for coding, I've tried so many different editors but never really taken to any - and as shit as it may sound, I think its because I love dreamweaver's default colour coding. I am so used to it that I am sower to read code in any other colour scheme. I have tried changing colour schemes on other programs but realised that there's no point, I'd rather just use Dreamweaver.
I also use SmartFTP - can't fault it, except the License Reminder that opens every time you open it, telling you that you don't have to pay for it, so long as it's not for commercial use, or something along those lines. __________________________________ |

I have tried changing colour schemes on other programs but realised that there's no point, I'd rather just use Dreamweaver. ...PHP has its own syntax colour scheme (ever use the highlight function?), which most (of the good ones anyway, not sure what other ones you've tried) IDE's use. Not sure where you're getting the idea that Dreamweaver has its own special syntax colour scheme. [QUOTE] Kyle said (26th September @ 11:34am): I use SmartFTP and I find it far better than Dreamweaver's built in FTP, and it pairs well with Notepad . How does it pair at all? Just wondering... __________________________________ |

dreamweaver for the predictive css and highlighting. and yes, there are other editors which do it, but i am used to using dreamweaver ever since the tables layouts days.

I hate people who say "using predictive CSS means you don't know CSS!" because that's utter rubbish. It's there to jog your memory, and when you think about all the properties and values that you can have, it's easy to get a memory block somewhere when you least want it. There's a reason programs that have it are industry standard software, and there's a reason why programs that don't offer it aren't.
At the end of the day, you might be the one who reads your CSS revision sheet before you go to bed every night, but I have better things to do, like sleep. __________________________________ |

Coda, CSSEdit, Photoshop (All the time!)
I very rarely use dreamweaver, it's UI is way too cluttered. __________________________________ |
