| Google NotePad/NotePad++ alternatives. I was checking out a few a couple months ago, stuck with NotePad++ though, preferred it over the others I found. If your on a Mac, there are quite a few nice ones (some you have to pay for though). |

 | Notepad++ is very good, what do you mean it looks ugly? And you could always get dreamweaver... |

| Dreamweaver? Heck no. Just no. NO. But notepad++ is a bit overwhelming... Are there plugins that make it keep track of the indenting? ie: when you put the slash to make an ending tag, it moves the element over 1 tab to the left? And one for when it see you are putting an entirely new element in, have it move over 1 tab to the right? |

| What's wrong with Dreamweaver?  Personally I think once you get used to it, Notepad++ is very easy to use. |

| Well why would I use dreamweaver? I'd have to pay for it  And I plan on being a web developer thing when I grow up, and dreamweaver is not good. Anyways, I'll probably stick w/ notepad++... Does anyone have experience with Komodo edit? |

| Web developers use dw, no? And there are other methods of getting it (which I will not go into) Have you heard of Kompozer? It's a decent free dw alternative. |

| Isn't Dreamweaver a WYSIWYG thing? I'd rather work directly with the code and OC there are other ways of getting stuff....I just prefer to keep it legal unless absolutely necessary... Alrighty then...I'll probably stay with notepad++ or try Komodo edit |

| Yeah DreamWeaver has two modes, code and design, which is why I like it. It also has a live preview option which lets you see what your site looks like on a real browser. |

| Every one has personal preferences like i prefer to use a mac when making websites because it makes everything much easier. Dreamweaver is used in the web developments industry because it has both a WYSIWYG side and a Code side , i would highly recommend it. If your a beginner to web design and don't want to learn to code then choose something like iWeb for mac, Serif Web Plus or any other WYSIWYG.
