 Free Web Editor?
					
				
				
						
							
							
						
						
				
					
						
							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 bulltrout 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 or Notepad++. 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.
