Joe actually has a point here.

If you're going to get something for making websites, get Dreamweaver. It's what most professionals I know use.

But I love frontpage.

Try doing layouts for websites in Notepad that are graphically and typographically complex and tell me you'd still rather use it.

[deadly7]

Define "graphically complex."

Something like the default layout for SMF.

Yeah, I actually do prefer Notepad2 for everything I do :P

If that was a response to my posts, please show me a design you've done and I'll tell you whether or not I think it's comparatively complex.

If I actually did want to make something like SMF, I actually would use Notepad and test frequently with Firefox.  I don't like WYSIWYG editors because that code is extremely sloppy and a pain in the ass to edit a long time after the making of the website.  Of course, I haven't actually made a website in... over a year now, I think.  And I hate using a lot of images, anyways (which is why I <3 Lynx).

Even when I was working at a web development company, I was using vim for all my Web page editing. I never had a problem doing complicated layouts with a text-editor. I actually found it easier because I knew exactly what everything did, so if there was a weird problem (like an extra gap between elements), I was much more likely to be able to track it down. If it was something tricky, I would often make all the different areas brightly colored, which would visually show me what was going on.

But anyway, the rest of the guys at work used Dreamweaver, which is why I recommend it. Text-editors aren't for everybody's needs. :)

vim's great, but the fact that there's no color is pretty depressing
