    Web Developers: Share Your Setup

    Kind of new to Ubuntu and greatly testing the waters. I am dual booting with windows but I am forcing myself to use Ubuntu while I work on websites and such. If there are any others in the programming/web design/development field who care to share their setup/screenshots/etc it would be greatly appreciated. Goal: completely ditch Windows. Go!

    I used to use an Ubuntu box running Bluefish, but I've migrated over to my Win7 box running Dreamweaver...

    Of course, with that being said, I am still hand coding my site. CSS, HTML and PHP included.

    I am currently tempted to hook up a second monitor to my main desktop.

    When I was using Windows I used Notepad2 and thought things couldn't get any better. Now, if you put me in front of a Windows machine to do web developing I'd go insane

    Geany is my weapon of choice. Some of its features I particularly like are:
    - Save all button
    - Can remove trailing and other superfluous white spaces when saving
    - Can close tabs with middle click
    - Colour picker. Invaluable when I'm doing CSS. No more opening up GIMP for its colour picker!

    There's more features either built-in or via plugins like an FTP file viewer, HTML character code picker, etc. If you install Geany I recommend you also install the geany-plugins package.

    Another decent web-focussed text editor is Bluefish. I used it for a while but didn't find it to my liking.

    If you do a lot of file comparing, Meld is a great little tool for diff viewing. There's also an extension for Nautilus called nautilus-compare that lets you select two files, right-click and then launches Meld to quickly compare the files.

    I prefer jed because it's a bit more lightweight than emacs, but otherwise I'm with you. A text editor and a browser is all I've ever used for a decade now. Oh, and the psql PostgreSQL command-line client for interacting with the database backend.
    If you ask for help, do not abandon your request. Please have the courtesy to check for responses and thank the people who helped you.
