I just got done lightly scanning over this article before I shook my head in disgust and decided to write this entry.

Let me say this first.  I've been professionally employed in web development now for 6 years, and am by no means a genius on the subject, but I think I may have a clue or two.

I have absolutely no idea why Bluefish seems to be the choice editor for web developers out there.   Way back in 2003, when I decided to try my hand at using Linux as my main desktop operating system, I immediately needed an editor to code within.  I tried a few, and when compared to whatever I was using in Windows *shudder* (I honestly have no idea what the hey I used back then), I remember them being lackluster in comparison.

I do remember, however, Bluefish being in that list.  I also remember that trying to use Bluefish as an editor was horribly painful.  Now, granted, this was 5 years ago, so things may have changed, but the reason I'm even writing this, is the author of the aforementioned article only mentioned one of the 3 amazing editors I know about, including the one I've used for the past 5 years and the one that I'm trying out now.  Only heaven knows why these fantastic editors were overlooked.  Hopefully I'm missing a huge point as to why that is - and someone can point me in the direction of editor supremacy with Bluefish.

The one I used that was covered in the article was Quanta Plus.  It is an awesomely capable web editor.  I recommend using it.

Here are the 3 they failed to mention, which 3, I believe are superior to all the editors covered in the article.

1. jEdit - I've used this supremely awesome editor for 5 straight years.  Amazing plugins, albeit a bit ugly, and as functional as it needs to get for what I do.
2. Eclipse - I've never used it, but I have friends who swear by it and from what I can tell, this editor competes with the best of any proprietary web editing IDE sold today.  If anything, it's broad set of capabilities makes it a bit difficult to learn at first, but if you're adverse to learning, you shouldn't be in web development to begin with.  I didn't use it due to its lack (this was about 2 years ago) of support in remote development.
3. Netbeans - This is what I'm trying right now.  From what I read, this may be the best web development (and in other development platforms as well) tool available today.

Anyway...  I had to get this off my chest.  Why in the world do people seem to like Bluefish so much!?
