texte = Well, I played around with Textpad, Homesite, MultiEdit and Just played with Edit+ this morning.So far, I see these as the major pros and cons:TextPad: Pros: -Simple -WebDNA Templates for quick insertion -cheap (approx. $41 USD)Cons: -Almost TOO simple It's like Notepad w/ color -No internal FTP or opening projects from an FTP server MultiEdit Pros: -What can't it do? -Very Customizable -Love the collapsible code featureCons: -Most expensive ($199 USD) -Interface is not intuitive... will take longer to learn -I only need this for WebDNA and HTML, I have Visual Studio for everything else I need -Only limited to 255 concurrent open files? :) Macromedia Homesite ($99 USD) Pros: -Intuitive interface -Easiest of the four to use -Collapsible code feature is killer.Cons: -Getting the FTP set up was not fun -Must store files on your local machine and Deploy them to the server a la Dreamweaver-style -Couldn't figure out how to make a custom tag without < and > (because <[include ^nav.inc]> just won't work). Edit+ Pros: -Fairly Easy to use -WebDNA templates available -Cheapest ($30 USD) -Open and Save to Remote FTPCons: -Some things are buried in menus (Where can I change what colors the code displays as?) -Is it just the trial version, or does the remote FTP never display folder names? -Can't move the toolbar on the left side -User Interface is a little clumsy at times... maybe I just need to get used to it. So it's down to Homesite and Edit+, definitely more playing tonight. (This is fun.)-- Matthew C. Bohne Web Developer Sandusky Register 314 W.
