Just figured to post since you were looking for recommendations.
Quanta Plus is by far one of the best web development environments I've come across.
First let me say that I'm not one for WYSIWYG editors. Quanta is a code editor, so if you're stuck on WYSIWYG, either consider gaining more control over your code and switch to code based editing, or look somewhere else.
*edit* Just read the sticky...lol *edit*
my box:
Sony Vaio PCG-GRX550
Fedora Core 1 Kernel 2.4.22-1.2174.nptl
Intel P4-M 1.64 GHz
512MB PC-2700 DDR
ATI Radeon Mobility 7500
30 GB Toshiba HDD
40 GB WD external HDD
Toshiba DVD\CD-ROM \ CD-RW
15.1in. LCD display
Intel i810 chipset
M$ USB Intellimouse (don't ask)
Cyber Acoutics PC speaker-woofer set
Sh*tty SIIG webcam (doesn't even work yet)
Installation: 5 - DAG totally RULES
Ease of Use: 5 - then again, I hate WYSIWYG
Features: 4 - I still find myself stealing MM_swapImg scripts
Quality: 4 - can become unstable on very rare occasions
Overall: 9/10
It features:
+ File tree view
+ Project tree view
+ Template tree view
+ DOM tree view (very useful for the advanced)
+ and EXTENSIVE DOCS for php/*sql, HTML, CSS, Quanta, JavaScript 1.3
+ an easy to navigate table builder (although for standards compliance purposes, and for quicker/easier control over your display, I would suggest divs over tables)
+ an easy to navigate form builder
+ a complete list of DTDs built into the program
+ a w3c validator plugin socket for CSS, HTML, XHTML, etc
+ the ability to manage projects on ftp servers (although I'm still working on a patch to manipulate dynamic files in a transparent manner, everyone SHOULD be familiar with my ftpfs/lufs exploits so far)
+ it's at version 3.2, and very stable, as long as you don't run a laptop with uptime outputs like this:
07:17:53 up 24:2:34, 5 users, load average: 3.12, 2.25, 4.45
+ Core is written completely in C++, with parsing and DTD generation in Perl - VERY LITEWEIGHT.
- Only available for Linux....screw Window$ anyways, screw them right in their corporate, money grubbing, $@#!ing, school-money thieving, bastard-ass, %@$#ing, VB writing, piece of $h1+, #%$@ing, ears....that's where they can get screwed. (Is this really appropriate? - Ug)
And, for all you WYSIWYG users, it's rumored that before ver.4.0, an XHTML strict 1.0 compliant WYSIWYG editor mode will be built in. It's just a rumor as of yet, so, hold you horses.
Anyways, there you have my recommendation. I'm gonna play around with some C++ editors other than emacs just to give a proper recommendation there....
pues, hasta
