Saying goodbye to Homesite, Hello Dreamweaver

Finally since I started making websites Homesite is my HTML editor of choice. It's been my first editor and for the last 5 years of web development. The shift to Dreamweaver came when I decided to learn action scripting on flash objects which Dreamweaver supports it.

Dreamweaver has improved it's UI since Dreamweaver MX which I notice a good environment for hand coders. I think Dreamweaver superceded Homesite on features and extensive support for other web related documents.

One thing that Dreamweaver doesnt have is the code sweeper in Homesite, which I use to organize HTML code. I just use a light weight editor which is PSPad for HTML/XHTML and PHPBeautifier to orgranize my php code.

Well the color coding of Dreamweaver is different from Homesite but I do customize it to look like Homesite.
