Good Text Html Editor

Recommended Posts

Macromedia Dreamweaver MX System Requirements: 275 MB available disk space(!!!!)

Price: Full from US $399, Upgrade from US $199

So, is there any sense buy such tool?  Whereas there are many free very good HTML editors with same features, but much more simple.. No, there are NO ANY SENSE buy Macromedia Dreamweaver MX. Or you can create better web page use specifically Macromedia Dreamweaver MX? No, you can no. Any good freeware html editor can do the same.

This is stupid. You're not even reasoning here. You're pretending to do a judgement on products by acting as though you know alot by them but don't bother doing a comparement.

For one, you have to look at what your end delivery must be, and what budget you have. A decent big company has a budget where $400 is like 1% of the total spendings. So price like this is not as much of an argument there. And, please. 275Mb? And you make a fuss?

I admit, there are tools out there that deliver (X)HTML & CSS just the same for 5Mb and$0. But the way in which you work with them is diffrent. Dreamweaver offers a very complete and dynamic interface. Above that, it's under costant devellopment, you have access to an extentions site where you can download loads of plugins, scripts, etc, which automatically do lotsa work for you. Dreamweaver has groundbreaking Server Side Applications support like PHP MySQL etc. Try that in TextPad or the likes.

Not that I use it, but still, it's there, and you just ignored all that with that stupid expression of yours. Diffrent people and diffrent companies are diffrent needs. And price and room on a hard disk like those are very little arguement in today's economic environment.

Remember, if you wish to convince somebody in a debate, you ought to first at least try and line things up and pretend you know what you're talking about.

OpenSource is a great thing, and often surpasses commercial solutions, but not here. In my opinion, I like dreamweaver's features far more than any other. If you know one that's superior in your eyes, tell me, and I'll try it out.

For some of us that dont work in companies $400 is a lot...Ive used one program called TSW Webcoder- its pretty good if your looking for a somewhat basic html editor, plus it has support for css, javascript, etc.

Why do you all need these expensive programs when Notepad has been supplied to you with your OS? Notepad is what I use, and it gets the job done.Notepad ROCKS!

I have used alot of editors out there including FrontPage and Dreamweaver. So far I do beleave that Dreamweaver is the best. In ease of use and versatility. (Never did like frontpage - Might as well use word). But as before stated most non company people cannot afford dreamweaver. These days there are so many editors to chose from that the best thing to do is to visit something like http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ and play with all of them till you find something you like. We all have a differance of tast and that is a good thing. One designers editor is another designers nightmare, and vica versa.

You still have not answered my question, can you create the best webdesign use the Dreamweaver specially? The main purpose of large monster companies is grab money from they clients, and only grab money... The same as miscrosoft. Quality of design does not depend of company size or from the budget size. You think if you got a big budget and you have expensive software you can create something worthy? You are mistaken. The big webdesign companies do such dung which even difficult to imagine.. And they grab the big money for their so called "art work". As opposed to this there are many designers which can to make an excellent site using simple toolsThere are many people which like keep their computer clean as possible and do not spoil it with software dust. There are absolutely no any necessity pay 399$ for ANY HTML EDITING program. Get something free and work.********************************************************************QUOTE(ardex @ Oct 29 2004, 02:45 PM)Macromedia Dreamweaver MX System Requirements: 275 MB available disk space(!!!!)Price: Full from US $399, Upgrade from US $199 So, is there any sense buy such tool?
