Microsoft Expression Web Designer

Quite possibly the best HTML / CSS editor ever created.

No, I’m not kidding.  

This isn’t Frontpage, its in a different class and its seems well beyond the stagnent Dreamweaver and Homesite in terms of usability.

Nvu doesn’t even compare.

Just steer clear of the whole ASP control thing and use its intellisense and properties editing to produce lovely xhtml and css compliant code (by default!).

I can switch between hand editing, properties dialogs and drag and drop without thinking - and its html preview seems pretty spot on with the results one gets in Firefox.

Its a .Net 2.0 application and absorbes a hefty amount of disk space (800MB!) but runs very quick

In Beta 1 now - I’ve only had one crash, other than that its been rock solid for about 18 hours of html editng
