Macromedia Dreamweaver - undoubted king of the hill.

Not so newbie friendly, but the best once you know what you're at with it.

Of course he doesn't owe it all to DW- he has skills beyond the power of it actually, which he couldn't possibly reveal to any Joe Soap.

Haven't used it, but Spider Writer (www.spiderwriter.com) is supposed to be good.

If you're just handcoding, I suggest Textpad.

For hand coding I'd recommend Editplus2. I use it for HTML, Javascript, ASP, Java and loads of other things. I reckon it's the best editor around.

Pah! Emacs owns!
Alright so Homesite is the best editor, and Dreamweaver now has it embedded so Dreamweaver wins by default.

Allaire bought by Macromedia?...

Why yes, ... yes they were... meaning that HomeSite and ColdFusion are now part of the Macromedia stable of products.

Oh, btw... I'd also recommend EditPadPro ... (see www.editpadpro.com for details).

I don't think the current government site was developed with FP, it's actually not too bad.
In fact the Irish goverment is no. 1 in europe for it's e-gov services so there

Oh and the fact that I worked on one has nothing to do with it

I just noticed that when I clicked on the link after I posted.
Let me correct that statement by making sure it is read in the past tense...

Fusio seem to have taken over, buts thats only very recently. I must say they are an improvement. Fusio actually manintain www.entertainment.ie which is one of my fav. sites. Very good dynamic info!!

Homesite and Dreamweaver - and you get them both! Best value for money esp if you paid for it.

Far better than that GoLive crap.
