I'm not a geek, but all of hands-on webmasters I know on Mac (and it's about seven) all use Dreamweaver with great success.

Thanks Weeks,

I was told by some friends of mine that Coda and Transmit were best but I haven't enjoyed them and it has slowed my productivity considerably.

I think I might have to purchase dreamweaver.

Thanks

I've really enjoyed Coda, I find it better than Dreamweaver in many ways. I like how Dreamweaver completes class names for me. And I like the WYSIWYG view once in a while, but mostly just so I can find my spot, then I go back to code. Give Coda some more time.

I adore the combination of TextMate and Transmit.

TextMate has code completion, snippets, macros, text manipulation -- I keep discovering new features. Remove trailing spaces in selection. Change non-ASCII characters to ASCII equivalent. Syntax coloring. It knows whether a document (or part of a doc) is html or css or php and it does its code completion and other syntax stuff appropriately for the language. I can select a dozen lines of code and hit command-forward slash and TextMate will comment it out using the appropriate comment syntax for the language of that selection. I keep liking TextMate more and more.

Combine TextMate with Transmit and you've got a home run. TextMate has a hook into Transmit's DockSend feature, whereby you can hit a keyboard command and TextMate automatically saves the page and uploads it to the server via Transmit's DockSend. No switching back and forth between apps, no drilling down through directories on the remote server. Just hit a key and you're done.

That said, I also use Dreamweaver for some visual work. And I find it very helpful. But if I had to give up either DW or TextMate/Transmit, DW would be gone in a heartbeat.

Thanks for the tip on textmate.

It sounds like exactly what I want. I'll download and give it a try. Does anyone know if coda does code completion like dreamweaver and textmate?
