I was all ready to to step out and leave KDE and Quanta behind -- but
nothing else works worth a damn!  I'm still gonna leave KDE behind just
for personal preference reasons.  But I honestly can't find a *single*
other web editor out there that is usable for day to day PHP/HTML
editing!  The one I was leaning towards is beautiful in nearly every way
-- it has built-in FTP and CVS, syntax highlighting and tag/function
completion for for HTML and PHP -- it's great!  But there's just this
one little thing:  You can never ever EVER type PHP within HTML like
this:
<img src="<?=$my_image?>">

...because it will ALWAYS convert the PHP '?>' to '?&gt;' -- and there's
nothing you can do about it!  And the author acknowledges the bug but
says that PHP compatibility is a "low priority".  So that means: It's
unusable!  Crap!

And the fishy one?  Don't even get me started.  Does it do ANYTHING that
Kate or gEdit can't do?

Then there's Dreamweaver... Well, the Mac version is just freakin' awful
-- and I'm certainly not gonna start subjecting myself to Windows for
Dreamweaver or anything else.

BBEdit?  Nahhh.  VI?  Well, maybe.. it does have a certain minimalist
appeal to it.  But not really practical for all day everyday project
development.

NVU?  Please - let's be serious.

PageSpinner? TacoHTML?  They look really promising but they don't do
multi-byte character encodings at all -- so for me they're out of the
question.

Hmmm... So let's see now, what does that leave us with?

Is it too late to withdraw my resignation?

:-)
