The web matrix is pretty nifty. Good tool. I dont necessarily care for some of it's color marking, but I haven't checked to see if it's changeable. I actually use Macromedia MX for all my coding. You might not think it, but the new version has turned out to
be a great editor. Total control of code coloring. Plus it can be used for all other web related languages. (i.e. your javascript) PS, no matter what you still might want to grab Web Matrix for it's class browser tool.
IMHO, it's Vs.NET - it can compile the codebehind into dll, it has a great Help system, Intellisense works great. Unfortunately, it's more expensive than DWMX. You can also try Webmatrix, which is free.
I use Dreamweaver MX as it has all the colour coding and autocomplete for ASP.NET. However, i used to prefer EditPlus when using standard ASP but as of yet i can't find any decent syntax or autocomplete files to use asp.net with it. If anyone has these files
i'd be very grateful for them. Dreamweaver seems extremely heavy on resources and my pc is getting older by the day!
When it comes to code writing my opinion always was that there's not such thing as the good old notepad ;) Basically I hate wizards and automated code generation. They fill the page with dozens of function you barely understand what they really do. Of course
Visual Studio is an extremely powerful tool that you could use to build some libraries. When it comes to web design, I use Dreamweaver MX for it's excellent web page design capabilities and I'm writing the code by hand. I guess that I'm using MX just for the
code-coloring. If MX had intellisense in classes etc. it would be 100% of what I need. The bottom line is that I don't use VS.NET in web development because it is too complicated with all these codebehinds, shared files blah blah...
For the complete package (editing, compiling, GUI), nothing beats VS.NET, but if you wanna create an aspx file manually, without the benefits of drag and drop capablitity, my vote goes to DreamWeaverMX. Love the color coding, and the FTP capability. But for
quick form making, VS.NET is untouchable Kearsor
