Notepad++ for Better Design

I gave up on Notepad a while ago and switched to Notepad++, which among other things allows one to format a file in UTF-8 without BOM, in turn cleaning up your XHTML files for validation (no “Byte-Order Mark found in UTF-8 File” warnings).

notepad++ doesn’t really work for me. it takes nearly as long to load as a full blown code editor, but without the useful tools.
I use eclipse PDT day in, day out, because of wonderful things like subversion support (subclipse) and saving local history (if i know something was working on monday, I can just “rewind” my changes). auto-suggestion, tab completion, and auto-closing round out the reasons it’s better.
although for CSS, microsoft’s Visual Web Designer is hard to beat.

Good suggestions, I might give eclipse a shot, I especially like the idea of being able to roll back time! As for VWD, it’s a little too loaded for hand coding CSS, don’t you think?
not at all, it defaults to the code editor (when you’re working with HTML pages, it validates your code before switching to visual mode, to ensure that your design displays correctly), and it provides nice outlining for your CSS (breaking out elements, classes, and ID’s), and it doesn’t take as long to load as NP++ or Dreamweaver.
You are right about the slow load, maybe I should switch. Oh, BTW, I finally did upgrade my WP!
