Hope I'm posting this in the right place. Just wondering what ya'll use for web development apps. What about HTML editors? I've used Mousepad before but I have to say there are some things I do not like about it, although it does work fairly well.

Anyhow, I'm using a modified xfce.

Thanks.

I use Quanta plus for CSS and (X)HTML and KImageMapEditor for basic client side image maps. GREAT tools for beginers like me.

vim

I'll get my flame-retardant coat

I've heard good things about quanta though, which has been mentioned.

Bluefish is worth a look if you haven't already

Its syntax highlighting - especially for mixed PHP+SQL/(X)HTML/CSS - is second almost to none.

I'd have to say for serious php I'd recommend Netbeans (yes they've probably the best php ide out there), also kdevelop's php plugin (dev-util/kdevelop-plugins from kde-testing) however kdevelop is still a bit buggy and might crush if you switch tabs too fast.
Both netbeans/kdevelop supports autocompletion, text highlighting, mixed code, etc.
Of course if you spend enough time messing with vim, it'll beat everything
