Re: want to know which software is good for web design

I only use a text editor to produce my sites.
Currently I'm using Geany, which is context-sensitive.

I tried DreamWeaver a long time ago, but it imposed too many limitations. It's probably better now but I feel comfortable writing php, JavaScript and html directly. Gives you more control than a code generator can do.

DreamWeaver is the best of a bad bunch.

I agree with ingeva: use a text editor. Find one with syntax highlighting and automatic indentation; I use GNU/Emacs.

I would go for Notepad++

http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/uk/site.htm

When you use Dreamweaver to write your php code, in my opinion, it looks very messy and some parts are just unnecesary.

What i mean by my last post is if you use the dreamweaver wizards to write the code.
