I actually use TextPad sometimes when coding because
- I prefer the search and replace functions,
- it loads instantly,
- you can add a syntax file which allows HTML to be displayed with basic
colour separation for elements, attributes, strings and content. From
this I conclude that all those people claiming to use NotePad as their
HTML editor are lying.

PS: I think I agree with the comments above too because I used to
Homesite a few years ago too. I prefer it to Dreamweaver's cluttered
layout.

Why would anyone use FrontPage in preference to GoLive, Dreamweaver,
Homesite or even TextPad?
