HTML Editor Reviews | Reviews and Discussion of (X)HTML Coding Tools

Celebrity Interview: Greg Storey

Greg Storey is the web producer, designer and writer for Airbag Industries. He has created websites, intranets, and online stores for a variety of companies — from telemedicine research organizations to NCAA tournaments, in industries from comics to tourism — and has won critical acclaim for Airbag, his personal web journal. Greg has also been featured in the Wall Street Journal, Communication Arts, Salon Magazine, MSNBC, and the Associated Press.

1. What OS/platform do you primarily develop in?

Macintosh, always. For two reasons: the Quartz rendering engine makes looking at code really easy on the eyes and I think the tools exclusive to Mac are better.

2. What’s your (X)HTML editor of choice for coding websites?

BBEdit hands down but, as with Photoshop, I only use a portion of its functionality. If TextWrangler had been available at the time, I would have purchased it instead as TextWrangler has everything you need for web standards development.

3. How did you decide on this as your primary editor?

It was the only option around at the time. There were others, but they didn’t have the support or were in a post beta phase. BBEdit has been around for a long time and I knew that there was a good support base available. And chicks dig BBEdit.

4. What’s the one (or more) feature of the software you couldn’t live without?

The documents drawer, hands down.

5. If you were in charge of choosing new features for this piece of software, what feature(s) would you add?

There is nothing to add. It already has features that are beyond my abilities and needs and I’m not a big fan of bloatware.

6. Bonus Unrelated Question: What’s the best book you’ve read in the last year?

That’s a toss up between 1602 [.com|.ca ] by Neil Gaiman and Massive Change [.com|.ca] by Bruce Mau.

1. [...] Myself, I’m still extra-partial to HTML-Kit on the PC, but things on the Mac side are still up in the air. I bought skEdit, but after reading this interview, I’m currently kicking TextWrangler around again. I look forward to the day when I find something I can stick with, and maybe this new site will help me get there. [...]
