I started with Dreamweaver in 2001/2002.[1] In between, I used Utradev for a while. However, I gave up Dreamweaver soon enough for TextPad as I used to write a lot more ActionScript; one editor for all was easier for me - so, HTML, CSS and JavaScript all in TextPad.

Then, I used a combination of Coda and BBEdit for a while. I remember writing the Sass.Mode for Coda, which was later taken over by Panic and included as part of Coda 2.[2]

Edit: Now I remember why the change. I moved to a Mac ecosystem from Windows in 2006.

By then, I had already moved on to Sublime Text around 2008/2009/2010. I don’t code much these days, but Sublime Text is still my go-to for its speed and the ability to open large codebases or an entire drive and let me edit things around.

Dreamweaver was a good dream. I’m going to spend the next 10-20 years learning Vim slowly and making it my retirement IDE.
