When other people talk about WYSIWYG web editor, I am looking for another web editor. Started from Google.com, keyword by keyword I typed. Most of them choose Adobe Dreamweaver. I know this because I have try it. Very powerful, easy to use, but it’s too expensive. So I change my keyword to alternative web editor.
I found many websites give an alternative to Dreamweaver, most of them with same answer. Okay, here they are ..
- Aptana, this is good but I don’t like it.
- Quanta Plus, okay this is Open Source, but It’s running on Linux only
- Bluefish, I like the icon, but it almost similarly with Quanta Plus
- Amaya, it’s WYSIWYG but I need the better one.
- NVU or Kompozer, same point with above software
- Notepad++, Yes almost … it’s easy to use, it has a plug-ins, light weight
- Netbeans, yes! this is very good IDE, the latest version I try it’s fast.
Finally I found Komodo Edit. This software is open source as well, similarly Notepad++ but has better ability, especially for css (I don’t know has it been updated or not, I can not found in NetBeans when I try it). But it’s not WYSIWYG (no matter for me). Another enhancements are
- Plug-gins ( color utility, HTML entities, HTML toolkit, tab coloring, etc)
- There is jQuery plugin (perfect! this is what I need)
- Auto completion for PHP, HTML, CSS
- Syntax coloring
- Website project / easy to inspect website files and structure
- HTML element Snippet
- Multi OS installable (But Linux version wont running in My Laptop, installing Windows version on Linux by Wine software instead).

Yap ! the conclusion is this software is the best software for web editing (that is my opinion). How about you ? Well folks.. thank you for reading. Sorry for my bad English.
