Dreamweaver or Notepad

notepad2

Agreed. Notepad2 is a great and small program. I even replaced windows notepad with this one.

Notepad++ is also another good text editor. I use both.

if you're on a mac. Use textmate. it is a very powerfull text editor.. I beleive i saw a program very similar to it that is being developed for windows but forget the name.

watch the screencast for html on the devs site and you'll see just how powerful the app really is.

i think the site is macromates.com

i dislike wysiwyg editors in general, and although dreamweaver has good code editing capabilities they pale in comparison to what a program like textmate can do. As long as you have a good solid understanding of what your doing I believe an enhanced text editor would be your best option.

dreamweaver is good but if u want a more basic text editor then just use something like notepad++ or xint or any one that does syntax hiliting! i dont use most of the features of dreamweaver i just like the color coding and autocomplete for when i forget things!

AEDix Suite Text Editor

It's free and easy for noobs, like me, to use ...

It all depends on what you want to do. Do you want to get a site up easily and efficiently? Use Dreamweaver. Do you want to learn how to code, which will come in handy if you move onto programming? Then use notepad or a similar text editor (I use PSPad).

Notepad++

It's great because of the syntax highlighting. Dreamweaver and other programs like it are for the noobs.

Notepad++ because is simple and transparent.
