When creating a website which tool do you normally use?
Notepad is my product of choice but it's just very complicated but you have
total control. MM Studio MX is probably the web standard but too difficult and
expensive. Frontpage, now that's just like giving M*croshit more commercial
advertisement.
Most of the time, I just use Notepad to code the site. Sometimes I use
Dreamweaver MX to place DIV layers onto the layout. And ofcourse Photoshop CS
for designing the layout :d.
ps: Number 3 of the poll will probably not be chosen lol
Studio MX is pretty nice, but Microsoft's FrontPage design and interface does
need better handling. FrontPage is pretty terrible to use in my opinion, and
I've never heard a notepad make those really complex sites before - unless you
use a lot of coding as a computer major over here.

Technically your web browser is just a glorified notepad. It just translates the
text into how it's supposed to look visually. All you see here in MT and the
entire web can be created with just Notepad. I never tried it though...
ohh sheq made MT on notepad!! O_O
man thats surprising
anyway, back to the topic, I use Frontpage but I'm thinking of changing to MX
since FP just annoys ya after a while. plus I hear only good comments on MX, so
my vote goes to MX.
I worked with TextPad once, slight better then Notepad. I use DreamWeaver MX
2004 for development of websites, although I must say that if you really wanna
use the really nice features DW MX 2k4 has that you must use the program to
maintain an entire site with it, including all of the uploadwork. And for that
lousy Frontpage, it just puts useless HTML-tags in your code. Oh, you can also
work "code-based" with DreamWeaver. It just how you would like to work
with it. I use it to maintian and develop all kinds of stuff related to websites
and I'm pretty pleased with it.
On a side note, Studio MX is a softwarepackage with Flash, Fireworks and
DreamWeaver in it, not just one HTML-editor. And with Adobe, I suppose you mean
GoLive?

nope. I really mean Studio MX (Flash,Fireworks,Dreamweaver,Freehand,Extension
Manager...) because because all included products can be used for design
websites. And I believe that Adobe has a similar package (PS,IR,GL,etc.),
whatever they call it. But they are so damn expensive. I believe Studio MX costs
around $800 and Adobe's goes even higher. I have Studio Mx but not 2K4. I'll
just wait till I get some spare cash.
Just tried out that free stuff you posted, N-vu beta4. Pretty sweet for
something free, handles like Frontpage but defintely faster. I haven't tried
most of the features but I'll give it a 4 out of 5, 1 short because it reminds
me of M*croshit's Frontpage.
God, MT is pure notepad? Man, that's just, mind-numbing... unbelieveable...

Yup! Pretty easy if you know html and some php.

I think Adobe Creative Suite costs about $1100...
By the way, I don't like programs like Frontpage. Those kind of programs throw
in a lot of junk which you doný need. I tried coding a age in
Frontpage and just by hand. The Frontpage version was almost 20KB and my
handwritten version was 10KB. That's about 10000 characters less!

Then buy only DreamWeaver, you can also buy just one program instead of an
entire package.

Doesn't matter what editor, it's more the
endresult that matters.

I tried that myself, coding by hand and with Bill the Devil's Frontpage.
Frontpage just adds junk codes that are rooted to M*croshit so they'll get some
royalty, which they have plenty of. Plus, Frontpage tends to ruin the fun by
trying act smarter than you by replacing the original codes.
Adobe CS costs $1100? Maybe I'll just stick with my MM Studio MX or rather my
Notepad.
I use UltraEdit because it's a very
powerful [text] editor. Most of the pages I develop are all coded in php. I
haven't found normal WYSIWYG
programs too useful for that kind of stuff.
I have foud the web developer
toolbar for Firefox to be extremely useful when creating web pages.

Indeed. Some of my friends (which also build sites)
call Frontpage 'Crappage'. It just puts unnecesary code in the pages.
Adobe CS2 (new version which will be released soon!) costs $1199.
Adobe Photoshop CS2 costs $599 and the normal version (cs1) is $649 (kinda weird
that the new version is cheaper than the old version...)

I bought DreamWeaver and wanted to buy Photoshop CS
aswell, but a friend was fired (he worked at a webdesign company) and he gave
ALL his cd's from Macromedia Studio MX 2004 and Adobe Creative Suite to me,
because he didn't use them anymore
I use EditPad Lite...
it's like notepad with a couple of features like easier finding and replacing
(can't live without that one --;;), conversion between lowercase and uppercase
and etc and tabs for your documents

I prefer working with the entire package rather than just one, it gives comfort
that all these programs can patch things the others can't. Plus I f I buy them
one by one It'll just cost me more.
Frontpage also likes to induce designers to think like M*croshit and make their
site IE-friendly so those asswipe creators of spyware can get a lockdown on your
browser and sell their crap to you. To put it simply, Frontpage is a tool for
the sole purpose of establishing a web full of Bill the Devil crap. Screw
M*croshit.

there's plenty of M*croshit supporters out there, its just a matter of time before they show their ugly heads!!!

i just voted for Adobe, even if i never used it or Studio MX^^

heh, when i was on Windows i mostly used MX for designing but when it comes for php/xml editing i always used Notepad++ :p
Minitokyo was build in notepad
Notepad pwns.
I've built my personal website with it. It's been a loooong time since I've last handled a wysiwyg (or whatever is it) HTML editor.
(Yes, I like simplicity.
)

All hail free stuff!
http://nvu.com/index.html
Free, alternate web design software. Still in beta but expect the full version to come out soon.
I use notepad for most stuff but I used fireworks mx to do my layout. I used to use dreamweaver but I see no need for it now.

Notepad hands down. But I am a little old school when it comes to programming. plus I dont like unless code in my source.
Yup! Pretty easy if you know html and some php.
I think Adobe Creative Suite costs about $1100...
