My choice of HTML editors in order of preference

working in my office:
  vi or pico (via telnet)
  notepad


working from home
  vi or pico (either via telnet or on my NetBSD box)
  BBEdit 5

I would never suggest to anyone that they use anything such as FrontPage 
(screws up HTML nicely), Adobe Pagemill, NetObjects Fusion (though this 
is by far the coolest one _I_ have ever tested)...by hand seems to be IMO 
the best way for editing pages under all circumstances except for maybe a 
quick mockup for a client or my boss.  Either way, even for quick Mockups 
I find it easier to do it by hand in a simple editor.

Greg
