Pros
It has current built programming language spell-checking, and even cues in variables just like Visual Studio or Dreamweaver. I'm a web developer and server programmer, and i can say without question this program measures up and kicks ass. The perfect opensource equivalent!
Cons
none really. it could do more, but it does what any developer would ask for. it might not do some of the fancy stuff that Dreamweaver does. but who cares.
Summary
thank God for Aptana!
Pros
Extendable, Dynamic, Code Completion, Built in Ruby Support, Highly Configurable, Environment is Based on Eclipse, AJAX support (with code completion)
Cons
Highly Configurable means lots of Set Up, Long install time, to install all the extensions you need to use
Pros
Javascript, XHTML, PHP and CSS editor all in one.
It's free
Code completion
Syntax highlighting
Javascript Debugger
Ftp Support
Ajax frameworks integrated
Cross- Platform
Cons
Quite heavy in using system resources
Summary
I have used this since its first release. It is my first choice in all my projects. Its getting better with each release. My only wish would be to integrate wordpress development into it.
Pros
Javascript debugger
Built-in server allowing you to debug ajax
Built in preview
Eclipse-Based Interface (means it's familiar to programmers)
XML editing
Cons
Snippits could be a lot better if there were more of them to form a complete set
Takes a lot of memory
FTP upload is not easy to manage and making multiple ftp sites doesn't seem to work.
XML editing could be improved not very robust beyond basic xml
Summary
It's awesome. It's free. It's worth the use if you understand eclipse.
Pros
best thing about it is that it's free
Cons
it's bulky, over complicated. it makes alot of claims but there are much simpler programs that edit code without the big fancy interface. it's a big waste of time!!
Pros
It's easy to use, free and powerful. I primarily use it for HTML, CSS and JavaScript and couldn't be happier with it.
Cons
To be honest, the biggest thing that annoys me is the check for updates process. Whether you're getting updates for plug-ins or the main app. It seems a bit cumbersome.
Summary
It's a great tool for web developers and there is no need to spend the big bucks on Dreamweaver.
Pros
I'm an avid Notepad ++ and this seems to have all the text editing capabilities. But and this is the real value, a GREAT IDE. Samples, project outlines, auto sintax, and correction, etc.
A true IDE. And Free!
Long live the open source community....!
Cons
so far no bugs or inconviniences...
Pros
I've used this program to create a lot of my projects. The Code Assist is a great help when coding. Best of all its FREE, Open Source, and always being improved upon.
