I'm a C# programmer by day, everything by night. I wish I could still code in .NET, because my website was written in .NET, but now that I'm running Linux at home I guess that option is out. So, can anyone recommend a good editor for Java programming and maybe some HTML/CSS/JavaScript/PHP?

Why not program in mono and use monodevelop?

Just got that installed and downloading. It's not importing my old VS.NET stuff though. Gotta look into that....

I am not really liking monodevelop. Just so weak compared with the real environment. Eclipse is rather cool, not as far behind WebSphere as I would have thought. I just need to find some nice plugins, like Tiger editor support, etc.

I use Eclipse for Java, and also Eclipse for Python (with the PyDev plugin). Eclipse is a truly excellent environment. At work, we spent something like $3500 buying 7 copies of Borland JBuilder, which now all sit in a drawer, totally unused. What a waste, when we could have just used Eclipse to begin with.

Yeah, I definitely like Eclipse as well. I had to use Netbeans a while before that until they got support for some of the new stuff in Java 1.5 like generics and really missed my Eclipse! But they have now resolved that problem and I can go back to using Eclipse for everything. C/C++, HTML, PHP, Python, all sorts of good stuff :)

As an addendum, I love the CVS extension.
