I know this isn't anything having to do with screenshots and stuff but I didn't know where to post it...Mods may move wherever it belongs! X:

Review Here

It's not as deeply detailed as the MyPaint review but I hope it's helpful for anybody who wants to start web developing!

Enjoy!

'NotePad ++' is an excellent tool for anyone using Gimp as it can help you to understand scripts easier so I would give it the big :bigthup

Notepad ++ is very good at what it does.
Next have a look at RJ TextEd, it has more web development options.

Notepad++ isn't a "web development tool", it's a very good general-purpose editor with enough bells and whistles to make it good at web development :)

I agree that notepad++ is an excellent tool: just today I discovered a nice batch-like feature: I wanted to modify the menu on all the downloaded scripts; well, it was a matter of seconds:
1-select all scripts
2-open (all) in notepad++
3-prepare a find-replace (old>new menu) on one of them
4-hit on "apply to all opened files"
5-choose File>Save all
that's it! excellent

I think Notepad++ is about as good as it gets. I used it all the time when I was in Windows.

Real programmers set the universal constants at the start such that the universe evolves to contain the disk with the data they want.

I've been using Pluma in MATE for basic code & text editing. It has several nice themes and does of good job of color highlighting code. The Tango theme is easy on my eyes.

If I were to get involved with a big project project, where I needed to frequently compile and link, I'd believe I''d probably go with Geany.

Anyone remember SPF and its various flavors? I loved that editor. It was the cat's meow, back in the day. :hehe

I used to use Emacs for many years until I started to feel the strain in my hand; these days I use VIM for all my coding work.
I'm very rarely doing any serious text work on Windows but I do remember Notepad++ being quite okay - works as expected without many bells and whistles.
