[Klug-general] web editing woes

[Athon Solo]

You can run Dreamweaver up to DW MX (6.1) under Crossover Office, or if 
you're feeling a little more adventurous, Wine. I do this for the 
templating system (One day I'll get round to writing a commandline / 
script based replacement, since I haven't been able to find one ready-made)

I can wholeheartedly advocate learning to code by hand - it makes life 
much easier IMHO. And IMO nothing does CSS better than my own hands for 
me (plus Firefox and the DOM Inspector - good god what I wouldn't give 
for one of those in IE so I can see exactly why it isn't doing what I 
expect).

Zend Studio is an extremely capable PHP editor, with excellent functions 
such as Code Analyzer which spots my mistakes way better than I do. 
Unfortunately I've decied not to renew my subs because I'm not convinced 
  that they're developing its feature set in a user orientated way 
(we're still missing code folding, which has been on the request list 
sinc it first came out as far as I can tell)

I'm currently looking at a replacement - likely a free one since I'm 
going to be loooking a lot more at other languages like Java and C++ 
while at Uni (< 2 months to go! =o )

Summary: Codeweavers Crossover Office is well worth the investment for 
anyone making the leap from Windows to Linux IMO.
