Which html editor would you guys recommend for a mac!

I wouldn't worry too much about what to use - it really comes down to personal preference. I would search "top 10 text editors" download all of them (if they're paid, they normally have a free trial / limited version) and see which one you like!

You might see this type of software referred to as an IDE - Integrated Development Environment, don't be put off by this, it's just a fancy name. An IDE can be anywhere between a text editor with some cool features to an advanced platform geared for a particular style/type of development or language. A good example that you might've heard of is Xcode (on mac). This is a fully fledged system specifically for developing with IOS. I think you can use it to develop html etc, but I wouldn't advise it!

I think to begin with, you'll be looking for the basics - something that has good syntax highlighting (pretty colours for easy reading), maybe some autocomplete features and error flagging (e.g. if you don't close a bracket or html tag, it shows up red). Luckily, any worthy IDE/text editor has this functionality right out of the box, especially for html.

Here's a quick example of how common place syntax highlighting, autocompletion and validation are in php development platforms.

I use sublime 2 (Thanks to Treehouse - Dylan Simowitz!). It's okay, I totally don't use it to its fullest potential - not a bad one to get you started.

A lot of people here are going to say Sublime Text, but personally I prefer Atom. Once you make the switch there's no looking back.

I downloaded Sublime text yesterday and it's awesome!

I used Komodo Edit before.

Being a minimalist I use the TextEdit. Works just as fine for me.

Though lately I've been putting my hands on Brackets which again is light weight without all of these buttons floating around and does the job pretty well and its FREE!

But again sublime text is a good choice too. I've used it in the past. There is a version 3 out there now too.

Personally I use sublime text, it's got a lot of good plugins to support and make coding html easy. Also has an unlimited fully featured trial version. I've also used Text Wrangler in the past. Both are good, but I've found sublime to be faster and have more features for when you get into advanced editing and development.

I really like Coda 2. The thing I find most-valuable about it is that I can instantly upload changes to my site via the program.

I use Sublime Text 3 and I enjoy using it. It also has some amazing free plugins that make work go so much more faster then any IDE can really do. As for Atom its ok but last time I played with it all my computers resources were getting maxed out and my fans started up on my Macbook Pro. Im sure it will get better but Sublime Text has just been tested and proven to be one of the best options out there. There is a reason why lots of professionals out there use it.
