Which is the best Editor for Front End programing?
Which editor do you use for coding your web application?

Personally I use Vim - you get nice syntax highlighting and loads of keyboard shortcuts. It's often said that Vim is a tool, its use must be learned. Don't expect to be able to jump straight in and use Vim without first learning how to use it. However, once you have invested the initial time in learning it, you'll find you can do things a lot quicker than you can in any other text editor. If you're running Windows, try gVim.

Netbeans is a great IDE for developing windows/ WEB applications

If we're talking IDEs - the Zend Framework is alright. Nothing beats Visual Studio though, although it's a pity that's not really suited to working in PHP.

I usually program Asp.net code and so use Microsoft Visual Web Developer for it...

Visual Studio for .NET apps
Dreamweaver for PHP apps and general XHTML, CSS coding

Dreamweaver and Komodo edit are good editors

I still prefer Windows' Notepad for HTML and PHP coding.

I use vim together with some custom python plugins I've developed. As kieransimkin said, vim is a tool. You must learn to use it before you can really be productive with it.

I use Quanta and netbeans .. my favorite one is vi though

No such thing - find one you like and learn it.

Notepad++ is great and easy to use.

Hi ,

If you are using PHP, I suggest Eclipse editor, it has more features and free tool.
Its support SVN, CSV, PHP Debugging,..

If you use only Html , Dreamweaver is ok.

Darn straight! It absolutely trumps Windows Notepad in several ways. How can you beat "Replace all in all opened documents"? With that and many other nifty features, I really can’t see myself reverting to Notepad. IMO, Notepad is okay for beginners building small, simple websites but it just doesn’t cut it for seasoned webdevs who need something more robust.
