1. What OS/platform do you primarily develop in?
I’m a Windows guy. I have been since the DOS days and don’t see that changing any time soon.
2. What’s your (X)HTML editor of choice for coding websites?
UltraEdit (with a side of UltraCompare and Dreamweaver). I get the feeling UltraEdit is more popular in the C/C++ crowd.
3. How did you decide on this as your primary editor?
When I first got into web development I used to work with this guy who used it all the time. I started using it as a result.
4. What’s the one (or more) feature of the software you couldn’t live without?
UltraEdit: Column selection. Select text in a block over multiple lines instead of starting at some point in line 1 and ending at some point in line X. Dreamweaver: Search and Replace. Best. Feature. Ever.
5. If you were in charge of choosing new features for this piece of software, what feature(s) would you add?
I wish UltraEdit had better code-completion. That’s minor. And better recognition of multiple programming languages in one file.
6. Bonus Unrelated Question: What’s the best book you’ve read in the last year?
Ha, I don’t read books! The only book I’ve read this year is Blog Design Solutions [.com|.ca], which was a good overview of the major blogging tools.
