    Notepad++ for the win! Have tried a few others, as well as paid editors and always come back to it!

      Try Sublime Text 2, it’s much better than notepad++ ;]
      Well, i’m using ST2 but still like N++

      Jup Notepad++ for the win in many tasks that included edition codes. Starting from basic thing all way to complex code editing. If something is missing by default you can always find addons

    How can anyone create a list of free editors then exclude Sublime 2 ?? not only is it currently the best editor ( free or paid ) it’s also cross platform compatible including Linux

    Looks like some potentially good apps I’ll have to explore. Thanks! Do me a favor, however. If I’m looking for a CSS editor, don’t waste my time defining what CSS is in the intro. I almost didn’t read on! :-)

    There are also other similar editors that you use which are online like codefunc template editor. Although not a true css editor, but you can do the same things as a css editor. If there is interest, I will write a tutorial on how to use it!

    How can anyone create a list of free editors, repeat over 10 times that he is talking about free editors and then deliberately include several editors that are not free?

    I agree. For example, Rapid CSS is €19.85; TopStyle price is US $79.95 per single user license; Stylizer 5.x is CAN $79.99. It’s really not hard to find out if you need to pay for them. And 30-days free trial does not equal free.

    It feels a little deceptive in order to drive traffic to the site. But what is really does is just make me less trustful of other articles on this site, sadly.

    +1 for Sublime Text 2 – It is young but very useful!

    I use Notepadd++ and I think is the best free editor out there for web development … you can use it also for JS, php and html (and lots of others … )

    Here you can find a very simple UI that works well in many mobile or web application that we (we are the KetchApp.mobi Team!), use every day for customer’s tailored application useful also on mobile. We believe in modern tech stuff such as CSS3 or HTML5, the DRY (Don’t Repeat Yourself) principle, usability and a lot of other funny stuff we heard about on the wide wild web.

    I know this was written months ago, but Stylizer is not a free product.

    anyone know of a windows editor that fully supports nested css3? all of them i’ve tried can’t handle it yet… (as in they don’t know how to format it, or don’t recognize the nesting correctly)

    @page {
    margin:10px;

    @top-left { content:”test”; }
    }

    Try Sublime Text 2. It’s very interesting with some amazing plugin such as Emmet, Nettus+ Fetch…
