    I’ve been using Notepad++ for all coding/css’ing for quite a while now. Will look into some of the editors in this list, Stylizer seems like the most decent editor. Will give it a shot, thanks!

  • http://silent-strength.com xethorn

    Lot of links, but I should say to create some nice CSS, you firstly need a brain :) Then, you don’t really care about the editor itself. Depending on which computer I am, I can switch between notepad++ and textmate.

    CSS is mostly a question of memorisation and helpers … most of the time don’t really understand what optimizing mean.

    I usually just edit my css with dreamweaver as I know most if not all the markup I would need to do my styling. It seems like these might be something useful for a person still learning css. The in browser changes in Stylizer seems useful except when you consider you have to check in IE6, IE7, IE8, Firefox, Opera, Chrome, Safari anyways to make sure your code is browser compliant across the board. So it really doesn’t save you the page refreshes that it claims to do.

    Would be nice if you labeled the tools if they are for mac only or also available for pc, because some of them are not.
