Agreed. What more could I want? Syntax highlighting for my HTML, CSS, JS, PHP and the Java I do (though I'm switching to NetBeans for that).
I type everything by hand for a reason, when I do that and I find an error it is much easier to locate and I do put a lot of comments. I have my standards, like BEGIN CONTENTS or BEGIN NAV END NAV, etc....
And the only thing I like about DreamWeaver is that it tells me before hand if a browser has issues with this or that and usually creates my end tags.
That's the only thing I miss in TextPad, something that verifies my validity on the fly, htat would be very nice. Annoying while I am typing new code, but at the end of the day. My dream app.
