There's nothing wrong with Dreamweaver from a pure IDE stance. It's feature rich and does its job well. I personally refuse to use it because I can't stand the code formatting options (an IDE is useless to me if I cannot tell it to create tabs of a certain size and only do so with spaces instead of tab characters). I would agree that its WYSIWYG editor breeds poor front-end developers. But any WYSIWYG editor will do that. Not just Dreamweaver.

Irregardless- I use Gedit for much of my development; Notepad2 for quick and simple editing on Windows. When I need a full suite for a large-scale application I'll use Netbeans. Or Visual Studio when on Windows and writing C# applications.

I quite like Cloud9, too. I find it helps me keep my projects in order between work and home.

Notepad2? What's up with all these cheesy notepad names? notepad++, notepad2.. I've heard Cloud9 is good. I think I've tried it, but I'm so used to n++ now that everything looks very.. strange and ill-formatted to me.

I basically use TextWrangler for everything. Html, Css, Javascript, C, C++, Python, Lua, etc. Fast, with a lot of coder tools that don't get in the way.

vim and/or emacs. Also visual studio when I have to work with the .NET family.

I also prefer Notepadd++... the colors are pretty. .__.

^ My favorite theme. It just makes CSS so... aesthetically pleasing.

I've been using Coda a lot for web development. I use TextMate for when I'm playing around with Java.

Looks like a ripoff of the old emacs theme, and of Sublime Text's default.

Notepad++. It's simple and does the job.
