The ever ubiquitous apology for not posting…


Sorry for the lack of reviews in the last while to anyone who’s still checking the site for updates. Being autumn, work has picked up considerably and I’m also taking some accounting courses, so I’ve had very little time to evaluate HTML editors. Here are a few things I hope will tide you over:

  • Apple is winning me over. I just have a first-gen PPC Mini, but I’ve been using it more and more for webdev. I heart Textmate — just a brilliant all-purpose editor. With Parallels and the new Intel machines, the Mac seems like the perfect webdev machine. I want a MacBook so bad it hurts.
  • WeBuilder and TopStyle should get married and reproduce. Their offspring would be the perfect editor for Windows. As it is now, I find myself switching back and forth between the two, which is annoying and counter-productive.
  • CSSEdit 2.0 for the Mac was just released. It’s a nice update, my favourite new feature being the new milestone manager. One oversight, however, is that the editor will only open files with a .css extension, which sucks if your CSS file happens to have a .php extension (to work with a CMS, for example).
  • Not editor related: MacHeist is now on. I have 6 invites, so if you want one, leave a comment. It’s a fun way to get some free software.
  • I’m working on a redesign of this site, which I’m hoping to have up by the end of the year, time permitting.
  • Expect these new reviews in the somewhat near future: RapidWeaver (Mac), HyperEdit (Mac), Homesite (Win), and Weaverslave (Win).

Thanks for checking back.

Eric
