Editors
5 March 2004
I recently added a site called white space to my news aggregator. Last night I read an entry titled Non-scientific poll: HTML/CSS Editors. When I first found the entry, there were 64 comments. This morning there were 86 comments.
Someone else will do a much better job of this, but I created a checksheet while reading the comments. If a product got mentioned in any of various versions or forms, it got a check. I probably double-counted or missed some, but here’s where things stood as of 86 comments: (Note that the editors are ranked and the number of times I counted each one is shown to the right.

- * * UPDATE * * * I’ve added links to each of the editors. While owning one or more of these tools won’t make you a web designer any more than owning a stethoscope will make you a doctor, knowing one or more of these tools fluently is a likely key to full employment in the web design and development industry.
