web development What's the best text editor for building websites?

[ciotmike]

I'm on a macintosh and want to know what is the best text editor for that platform.

[administrator]

I would suggest Sublime Text.

I prefer coda.

I run CentOS Linux.  Of editors available to both CentOS and MAC, I have used VIM, Brackets, Atom, and Sublime Text.

I have used others that are not ported to MAC.  Of these, I always come back to Sublime Text.

Best Advice?  Try several, you will find one that stands out among the others.

Thanks!

Sublime text is easier to use with the autofill.

Sublime is great. I prefer it to notepad++ because it's easier to install extensions. A great extension is emmet - it  gives you some really useful shortcuts like so:

h1.main-text>ul.main-mav>li.nav*5

outputs this:

<h1 class="main-text">
    <ul class="main-mav">
        <li class="nav"></li>
        <li class="nav"></li>
        <li class="nav"></li>
        <li class="nav"></li>
        <li class="nav"></li>
    </ul>
</h1>

If you dislike the default colour scheme, you can change it to the same as notepad++ in preferences.
