HTML Editor to Choose? (2015)
I'm looking for a very good HTML editor. That can also do CSS, JavaScript, jQuery etc.
Any good, recommendations out there?
I was thinking using Dreamweaver CC but I don't know if it's overrated?

Would Dreamweaver CC be the best option if money isn't a problem? Would Dreamweaver CC be the best of the best from any other html, css, javascript, php etc software available for creating websites?

I was looking on Adobe's website, I can't find a price for Dreamweaver CC. They want to sell a monthly subscription now. I don't think I can get the physical DVD or can I? And How much?
I believe that the only way to get DW without a subscription now is to buy an old version privately. Many think it's a bit of a ripoff, but thay make the rules.
Having said that, even the most hardheaded Adobe critics won't deny that it's by far the best program. I hear a lot of web designers saying that they only hand code and that DW or something like it is for amateurs, but as I said above, websites in 2015 are highly complex beasts and you'd have to be a coding genius to manage without DW or a similar program.

In support of Ray's comment above: when I used Dreamweaver (CS4) to create my pages I found it expedient to use WYSIWYG and code views side by side. You then go through the code and simplify all the excess rubbish created by Dreamweaver.
A big advantage of Dreamweaver was the capacity to create Templates and to make site-wide changes easily. Having said that, if you're comfortable with HTML, CSS, and PHP, using "PHP Includes" accomplishes the same thing in most situations.

@Ray Paseur - Can I use HTML, CSS, JavaScript, jQuery etc with PhpStorm? Or just PHP?

Wow so far I kinda like Phpstorm.
Was wondering though when I write html, the coding is bold, without writing <b> </b>? It's bold by default?

If you're using a Mac, Rapidweaver has had very good reviews, but I haven't used it so can't vouch for it.

On my Mac, I use the free code editor TextWrangler, but I'm an amateur and a philistine who's just about abandoned hand coding pages in favour of Wordpress. Wordpress has become so capable that unless you have substantial experience and major resources, and if you're a one-man band, it's much easier to produce a reasonably complex website than any other way.
Having said that, it is still vital to have a good knowledge of HTML and CSS, and a good code editor, if you wish to have maximum control.
