which html editing software is the most common?
 

notepad, dreamweaver, frontpage or somethign else? which tool designers prefer?

a lot of people use stuff like textmate, textedit, vim, editplus etc

The average person is probably using Dreamweaver

I use dreamweaver. I used to do it by hand way back when using notepad but dreamweaver makes it so much simpler these days.

frontpage

Most use dreamweaver.

i have been soley dreamweaver for 4 or 5 years, but the past few months a friend turned me onto microsoft expression and i think im going to stick to that from now on... its pretty nice

I'm using Dreamweaver CS3 for the rough and Notepad++ for the fine tuning - best way to keep it fast AND clean ...

It's probably Dreamweaver or Photoshop.

Unless you're a true coder and work with Notepad.

:2 cents:

nano all the way

nano on a unix based server, and notepad++ on win32

You did say HTML so therefore dreamweaver beats out any of the real TEXT editors. Frontpage adds too much BS to your basic HTML editing.

nano on *nix and notepad++ on windows.

Not a true coder. Just old school.

Still do notepad. :Oh crap

Dreamweaver and I do most of my web design editing in fireworks.

True coder my ass. Dreamweaver has a lot of features that save professional coders and designers a lot of time.

Dreamweaver. The CS3 version has a bunch of cool scripting setup that you can use with almost one-click ease. I haven't had a chance to test-drive the CS4 version yet - but see that it has some nice improvements, one of which is the ability to toggle between 'Live View' and 'Code View' within the application & it includes quite a bit of application resources for stuff like Ajax, Java, Jquery & Spry. There are also some PSD/Photoshop integrations.

I like HTMLKit ...

+1 from someone with a BS in Comp Sci

dreamweaver

I never used other things then Notepad - Notepad rocks!

My choice is Dreamweaver, Notepad doesn't even have line numbers, Kate or any other linux based editor is way better.

Usually dreamweaver, used to do frontpage but it adds too much BS code.

Notepad++

notepad++ :thumbsup

Dreamweaver...been using it for years.

CuteHTML.. mostly just for color coded tags making it easier to read vs notepad.

I've used Front Page, Dreamweaver, Notepad++

But ... nothing beats Coda:-

:thumbsup !

I use Programmers Notepad2 mostly for edits and such its pretty amazing little software.

For bigger projects I use Dreamweaver.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

more like inefficient coder who let his ego get in the way of progress.

editplus

I'm old school. I use pencil and paper.

Dreamweaver + Photoshop + UltraEdit

Frontpage EXPRESS V4

(Remember that one ?)

Photoshop.. for all your html editing needs. lol

photoshop + editpad + ultraedit + frontpage express v2.02 + perl (no kidding)

Dreamweaver CS3 rocks but I have been playing with Microsoft Expression Web 2 and its pretty sweet too.

dreamweaver is the way to go :thumbsup

Ahhh... be nice.
It's find and dandy turning out point+click HTML shit from a pretty GUI with nice popups and whatnot that prompt you on what to call your new DIV tag. Afterall, HTML is just putting together a chopped up static image, right, ala AlienQ? And in regard to the original poster, that's all that was asked.

In regard to some of the people mentioning a text editor of sorts, don't hate. Try and relate.

Notepad++ and Dreamweaver.
