I use NetBeans. It's smart about markup, style (css, scss, less by plugins) scripting javascript, ruby, php, python via plugins, and it generally works for me. I fall back to GEdit and Notepad++ sometimes.

With the right plugins vim can be very nice for web coding, the zencoding plugin for vim is very nice. I keep all of my vim setup on github, take a look: https://github.com/safetytrick/strick-dotfiles

I usually go with an Eclipse variant.. Eclipse PDT and Aptana have worked out well for me. Currently using Aptana now. But really, anything that makes you more productive is good I think. Getting into IDE holy wars is pointless. Nobody wins and everyone ends up feeling the other person is retarded :)

I have been very impressed by Sublime Text 2 (http://www.sublimetext.com/2). Use it as my primary editor ever since I discovered it.

It also supports the zen-coding plugin, which is nice.

I think geany is a pretty popular choice if you're not going to use a terminal based editor. It's pretty flexible and I use it for Python.

geany is a very nice editor! does geany have a zencoding plugin? (I haven't found one but I haven't looked all that hard)

Try emacs or vim, and stick with it for a month, learn a key combination each day. It's painful, but it pays off.

I use vim in a dropdown console with my browser open full screen.

GEdit is a pretty decent choice on Linux.

Emacs can do it all. :D

I already have an OS :D
Re:What is the best editor for web development? by alnayyir on Friday May 06, 2011 @12:43PM (#2521502)
It's not an OS, it's a text editor.

I guess you're not familiar with the joke then :-$

I'm just refusing to acknowledge the canard.
