CSS Editors (why you don’t need dreamweaver anymore)
It been a long time since I first started developing web sites. Before that, I developed interfaces for CD ROM applications. It took a long time for the web to be sophisticated enough to display interfaces of the caliber I was striving, and like everyone else – before there was a real support for standardized CSS I too used apps like, OMG, Pagemill and Dreamweaver.
But let’s not forget what those tools are. They are for designers, not programmers, to generate interfaces rapidly. Not serious tools for development. When I code, I like real editors like BB Edit, and now the standard Eclipse editors * specifically ZEND studio. I don’t want the bloat that is generated by the code there. It’s just not clean, not really. Like mamma said, just because its convenient – doesn’t mean its right for you!
Rapid CSS style sheet editing was possible with Dreamweaver, and I did keep it in the arsenal just for the purpose of using it to style rendered portions a site I was working on. Because until today, I didn’t see a way to edit stylesheets visually without it. Now my eyes are so open, and I will probably never use dreamweaver again!
Mac Rabbit makes the app, and you can find it here: Want this? I have downloaded the trial and decided in the first two moments that its going in the trick bag. Oh, yeah!
