Thanks for this Jason, very helpful (and I completely agree with you about VIM!). I’ve been Notepad++ for quite some time but am tempted to give NetBeans a go now.

I use Liquid XML Editor (http://www.liquid-technologies.com/xml-editor.aspx) it is commercial but the fast xslt is really worth the money for me, there’s also a more fuller listing of xml editors here; http://www.xml-editor.info.
Thanks for your post.

Jason, I’ve used the NetBeans IDE, and found it to be quite nice. Certainly ticks most of the boxes when it comes to required features when developing.

I will however, be sticking to either geany or gedit for my developing, but that’s just a matter of personal preference.

It is definitely a nice addition to the list though.

Just updated this post to include the all important NetBeans IDE which I am currently using for all my PHP, CSS, JavaScript, XHTML and MySQL development needs. It’s wonderful.

Thanks for your input Scott. Both editors look very relevant and interesting and are a real nice addition to this list.

Windows: I was always a fan of WeBuilder. It's lightweight, fast and supports pretty much any format you can think of. Since switching to linux, I use Geany. Light, simple, fast and in my opinion, VASTLY superior to bluefish etc.
