Dreamweaver in code view is good but can be expensive to buy so I'd go for Sublime Text 2. A small learning curve but overall it is awesome.

I'd suggest http://brackets.io it's like what dreamweaver should have been. It's a text editor with some extra features made especially from front-end development.

i like brackets more then sublime txt and dreamweaver

Anyone have feelings on the Aptana IDE: www.aptana.com or Komodo? Dreamweaver is overkill and frankly since Adobe went subscription only, not the best choice in my eyes.

I'm done w/ dreamweaver. It's over rated to me. Check out brackets.
