What do you do your coding in in linux

I use the much maligned dreamweaver (in windows), simply because
I like syntax colouring,
I like the integrated ftp,
i like the debug function as i always forget to close a bracket


I use Kate (the KDE Advanced Text Editor) for this. It syntax highlights many different languages, supports loading over FTP using the FTP KIO slave (just type ftp://blah.com/... in the open dialog. It will prompt for username and password and can save these in the KWallet encrypted password store). It doesn't have fancy inbuilt debug stuff that I know of.

I absolutely loathe Dreamweaver. I've been using DW8 for a site recently and it has generated a whole series of problems including failing to download the latest version of a file before applying a template/lib item update, missing out bits of code in those updates, sticking library items including table components in the wrong place in the code (not where I manually placed the library item tags), and the check in/check out system is simply useless.



I did as recently as last month do a search for linux editors, but i didn't find any that had those features integrated
the other feature i really want is autoindent (a linux editor I used years ago had it, and it was bloody handy)


This can be used in Kate (or most editors) by setting your default indentation settings. You can use tabs or any number of spaces and can use multiple indentation conventions.




My main worry is the image editing capablilies, i freely admit i haven't used the gimp in a couple of years, but from what i remember the interface was horrid, I really dont like all the floating tools, same reason i don't like photoshop
Anyway I've got a recent version of gimp for windows here so i will test it out and see if it has improved

Cheers

I quite like the GIMP although organising the windows can be annoying. I always use a separate virtual desktop for the GIMP to set it all out nicely.
