Text editor like Adobe Dreamweaver for Ubuntu 13.04

Question

I'm new to this Ubuntu 13.04, and I'm a web designer and developer I used Dreamweaver when I am using windows so can any one help me which of the text editor is best to use which helps me in designing (HTML, CSS, jQuery, JavaScript) and developing (PHP, MySql) and which is same like adobe Dreamweaver and can you also help me how to install it in my Ubuntu 13.04 64bit.

Answer 1

I'm also Web-Developer. In my opinion, Dreamweaver is an expensive and unnecessary ballony for a developer who works in HTML, CSS, jQuery, JavaScript, php/mysql, java and so on.

I use NETBEANS for developement. It's the real dream. It runs to my knowledge on all linux distributions.

For art design and photography I use Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, Gimp 2.8, RAWThereapie, Phatch, scribus.... Only OpenSource! It's more than enough for development, publishing and design.

Answer 2

Use Brackets

http://brackets.io/

Please go to this link and download deb file. http://download.brackets.io/

Then go to the folder that you download deb file, using cd command.

dpkg -i brackets-sprint-30-LINUX64.deb

(You may have to change brackets-sprint-30-LINUX64.deb part according to the file you download.)

Under Programming category you can find Brackets. This was developed by Adobe as I know

Answer 3

I don't know anything about Dreamweaver, but as a web developer I use Sublime Text. It has a lot of nice little features like multi select, split editing and addons that makes the small annoying things easier.

To install, run the following in the terminal (gotten from here)

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/sublime-text-2
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sublime-text

Answer 4

The most nearest thing I know to dreamweaver is http://www.kompozer.net. Other than that http://bluegriffon.org/ might be useful as well.

Both are installable through http://www.getdeb.net

But as a developer I would recommend you to use other available options, I think http://www.aptana.com/ may be better choice for you.

If you are fan of minimalism, I would recommend geany.

vim works great for me

This will get you started with a nice config

I find big heavy programs crash a lot. I personally love how light weight vim is and easily can do anything dreamweaver can, or netbeans.

Then you add in git and you are in a good position.
