Ask Slashdot: Best Open Source Answer to Dreamweaver?

Posted by timothy on Tuesday January 17, 2012 @02:20AM from the there-should-be-one-called-vision-quest dept.

An anonymous reader writes "I've been looking for an open source alternative to Dreamweaver, and haven't stumbled upon anything that works the way I need. Aptana and Bluefish are fantastic tools, but I cannot work exclusively with them, since Bluefish doesn't have that WYSIWYG functionality that is so important when you're also dealing with design, and Aptana doesn't have classic ASP support. I don't care much about the classic ASP support, but, even though I'm a PHP developer, I give support to classic ASP code on a daily basis. What open source tools are you guys working with out there? I'm really not looking for a Dreamweaver clone, just a tool that gets closer to cover my needs: WYSIWYG, PHP, HTML, CSS support, and less important, classic ASP support."

Want a Dreamweaver replacement? Post your job up on Craigslist and Monster. There are plenty of people around that actually know how to code and don't need a WYSIWYG editor to accomplish their tasks.
If you 're doing anything more than a blog post, you should not be using a WYSIWYG editor.
