I recommend vim.

It is highly customizable. Its learning curve is a bit tough, but possibilities are almost endless.

Here is tutorial with installation tips and other useful stuff.

    I would not suggest vim as a replacement for dreamweaver. The learning curve from one to the other is more than "a bit tough". – Oli Nov 18 '10 at 12:24

  • vim as Dreamweaver replacement!? Came on people, this answer does not deserve it's score. There are bunch of users, which recommend either vim or emacs for anything in question. It's same horde of supporters – zetah Nov 07 '11 at 17:13

  • I have installed netbeans but how to open a file in this editor?and also where i can see this installed editor? – shalu Nov 18 '10 at 06:05
  • To open a file click on the file menu and select the 'open file' option. Usually it will create an icon on the desktop. if it is not there you can open it from the appliations -> Programming -> netbeans ide – aneeshep Nov 18 '10 at 06:38
  • I open a php file in both editor but it not highlight php code and also not html tag it show file content like when i paste some code in nodepad.need any setting? – shalu Nov 18 '10 at 07:02
  • By default ubuntu provide gedit but in this i m not able to find start tag and closin tag thats why i need other editor. – shalu Nov 18 '10 at 07:04
  • I guess the best editor is up to the use and how/where you want to apply the application. – Andre Nov 18 '10 at 07:14
  • Eclipse is a bit heavy and can be draggy based from my experience. It also has a very large support and plugins. – Andre Nov 18 '10 at 07:15
  • @shalu: Eclipse and netbeans are for serious project development. If you are looking for a simple lightweight editor, probably to edit single files with some additional features like syntax highlighting ,code folding etc. then 'geany' is for you. available at software center. – aneeshep Nov 18 '10 at 07:22

You may also be happy with Gedit, the GNOME standard editor that is already installed in Ubuntu. There are many options and plugins available for configuring Gedit to meet your needs.

dreamweaver is not an editor but a good solution for the web in Linux is Aptana. It is not WYSIWYG. To install it, only downlad unzip it (if necessary) and run it. Aptana will create a folder "workspace" (I´m not soure about the name) to your home folder and thats all.

  • Dreamweaver is an editor. I used it in text-mode for all my webdev editing (except ASP.NET) back when I used Windows. – Oli Nov 18 '10 at 11:59
  • ok!! it´s not only an editor is a WYSIWYG and an editor. I will change my commend :) – Vassilis Nov 18 '10 at 12:10

For web development you can use an editor called Bluefish.

http://bluefish.openoffice.nl/

Bluefish is targeted towards programmers and webdesigners, with many options to write websites, scripts and programming code. Bluefish supports many programming and markup languages, and it focuses on editing dynamic and interactive websites. See features for an extensive overview

You can install this from the command line using the following command

sudo apt-get install bluefish
