The only thing about Eclipse that I dont like is that I can't just create a file real quick if I want. it has to be in a "project". Or am I wrong?

You can create a file just like any other editor.

But if you are looking for a quickfile, Notepad2 is probably the quickest way to go.

I'll have to play around with that. I have just about all my files in projects, but I know I can open a file and save and close a file that is not in a project, though I have not tried to create a file that is not in a project.

yes I can do that too... open, edit save anywhere I want. But try creating a file without associating it with a project. It will always result in sadness. :cry:

Why are you using Dreamweaver anyway? It's not so bad if you get rid of all the crap, turn off code formatting, change tabs to spaces and only use the code view. LOL

I use Dreamweaver for the auto-complete. I type with one hand. As you can imagine, it speeds up the process. :D

I am using it because there are designers and such who need to be able to edit it.

Yeah, I'm not a big fan of Dreamweaver but autocompletion features are great in any editor. If your typing with one hand, I would encourage you to try out Quanta. You'll have to install Linux (I recommend Fedora) in order to use it, but it offers autocomplete for pretty much every word in a particular file, including function names, variables, constants etc. There are ways to run it on a windows computer, but you still would need to have it installed on a linux box.
