What is the best editor for web development?
I am used to Vim, but it just doesn't cut it for editing JS/CSS/HTML. Or perhaps I don't have the right plugins.
What do people use on Linux? Sorry, no Mac here.
- thedeuce 15y agoemacs! too soon?
- gareim 15y agoI think geany is a pretty popular choice if you're not going to use a terminal based editor. It's pretty flexible and I use it for Python.
- safetytrick 15y agogeany is a very nice editor! does geany have a zencoding plugin? (I haven't found one but I haven't looked all that hard)
- alnayyir 15y agoEmacs can do it all. :D
- alienfluid 15y agoI already have an OS :D
- alnayyir 15y agoIt's not an OS, it's a text editor.
- alienfluid 15y agoI guess you're not familiar with the joke then :-$
- alnayyir 15y agoI'm just refusing to acknowledge the canard.
- dmn 15y agoGEdit is a pretty decent choice on Linux.
- safetytrick 15y agoWith the right plugins vim can be very nice for web coding, the zencoding plugin for vim is very nice. I keep all of my vim setup on github, take a look: https://github.com/safetytrick/strick-dotfiles https://github.com/safetytrick/strick-dotfiles http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2981 http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2981 "Zen coding keys let g:user_zen_expandabbr_key = '<c-e>' let g:use_zen_complete_tag = 1
- train_robber 15y agoI have been very impressed by Sublime Text 2 (http://www.sublimetext.com/2 http://www.sublimetext.com/2). Use it as my primary editor ever since I discovered it.
- irunbackwards 15y agoIt also supports the zen-coding plugin, which is nice.
- clyfe 15y agoI use NetBeans. It's smart about markup, style (css, scss, less by plugins) scripting javascript, ruby, php, python via plugins, and it generally works for me. I fall back to GEdit and Notepad++ sometimes.
- pdelgallego 15y agoTry emacs or vim, and stick with it for a month, learn a key combination each day. It's painful, but it pays off. -- An emacs user.
- nametoremember 15y agoI use vim in a dropdown console with my browser open full screen.
- autalpha 15y agoI usually go with an Eclipse variant.. Eclipse PDT and Aptana have worked out well for me. Currently using Aptana now. But really, anything that makes you more productive is good I think. Getting into IDE holy wars is pointless. Nobody wins and everyone ends up feeling the other person is retarded :)
