Hi Jesper,

On a Mac you can use Coda, has some nice features but it costs $75 ( panic.com ). There is also Sublime Text which is free but it has a nag screen every 10 saves or so. The FTP upload part is a separate plug-in which costs but it's worth it in order to upload changes to a live server, but I guess Git can be used to do that as well.

On Windows, I was using Sublime Text since it's free and it works. The biggest feature which I haven't seen on too many IDEs and Sublime has is variable completion while you type and comes very handy when you have long camel-cased variable names...

Here's a list of other IDEs: http://code.tutsplus.com/articles/18-wonderful-ides-for-windows-mac-and-linux--net-5242

Recently I've become fan of brackets. Brackets is an awesome IDE for web development though performance is slightly low when compared to sublime. But it's one step ahead of subline when it comes to code completion (intellisense) feature.

I'm using a PC and for HTML and CSS I've been using Notepad++. It's free software, but one thing I love about it is it's layed out like a browser with multiple tabs (don't know how common that is with other software).

Notepad++ is ideal for hardcore users due to the flexibility it offers. But a full fledged IDE would aid the Rapid Development.

Cheers, Jay
