Notepad is a basic text editor and Aptana is an IDE (IDEs are normally massive, no personal use of this one).
Normally people go for a fully featured text editor, with at least syntax highlighting. Macs have a ton of options (Textmate, Kod, Dashcode, etc).
On Windows I use Notepad2 or Opera's edit source. I find Notepad++ awful. This may be of interest to you http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Source_code_editor http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Source_code_editor .
- ctoneal 16y agoJust as a side note, what don't you like about Notepad++?
- pasbesoin 16y agoI'll pipe up here. I've found it gets buggy once you move beyond basic editing. E.g. regular expression search or search/replace. I've run into several other things. Overall, I'm left with the impression that it's "a mile wide and a foot deep".
- dsawler 16y agoI second it getting buggy, particularly for search/replace.
