Free Web Editor?

[Jessweeee♪]

I'm only doing simple HTML and CSS so notepad is just dandy for my needs, but I spoiled myself with the organization and coloring of Dreamweaver :<

Does anybody know anything nice and neat like that for freeeeee and not a bullshit freeeeee trial?

If you don't need the preview and WYSIWYG editing of DreamWeaver (I prefer not to use that, because it messes up my code), try Sublime Text (http://www.sublimetext.com/2) or Notepad++ (http://notepad-plus-plus.org/). I currently use a combination because both have some things the other does not.

Both have:

Syntax colouring (with plenty of different colour schemes to choose from)
File tabs
Advanced find/replace
Tons of little viewing/editing features, too many to list
Macros
Auto-completion of tag names and whatnot


Notepad++ has:

A nice list of plugins! Some of my favourites are:

Zen coding (this'll make your HTML coding a breeze - it may be enough to make you want to choose N++ if you mostly code HTML)
NppFTP - edit files directly from the server; when you save they upload automatically
Light Explorer - pretty much just to browse your local file tree inside the program

Better auto-completion than Sublime, imo
Hiding and showing of sections of your files, like long HTML tags.


Sublime has:

Smarter editing. For example, you can get auto-indentation and auto-closing tags/brackets in Notepad++ too, but it works much better in Sublime. More streamlined in general.
A neat minimap of your code. Kind of useful.
Easy splitting of the workspace
Grouping of files into projects


I was meaning to make longer lists but they are both pretty stuffed with features so it'd take me forever. You should try both and see which suits you better!

Nice! I'll have to give those a whirl when I get the chance.
