<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:#0b5394">Keith, As a LAMP developer using Linux I am in the same boat. My tool set is Gimp for images, I don't edit video myself but have it prepared per the site specs by others. As far as editors, I moved away from WYSIWYG editors in favor of Sublime Text for simple stuff and PHPStorm (not FOSS) for my full IDE. Netbeans is the closet thing to PHPStorm that I have used. I've tried Geany, Gedit, Bluefish, Netbeans, Eclipse, Komodo Edit and IDE, and prefer to spend the $99 for the PHPStorm License. It is java based and works on all platforms. </div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:#0b5394"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:#0b5394">With web development moving to mobile first responsive design, web sites are moving away from simple CSS and implementing SCSS/SASS, more Javascript (jQuery frontend, NODE.js backend), and version control (VCS) like Git. You quickly realize that editors like Dreamweaver just don't have the breadth of built-in tools to help with your workflow. </div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:#0b5394"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:#0b5394">Browser developer tools such as Firebug by Mozilla, and Chorme's Developer Tools offer more inspection tools than Dreamweaver (or Bluefish) along with built in debuggers for JavaScript that let you set breakpoints, step in, through, and out of js functions to inspect variables, array key value pairs etc. Both of these browsers will even reference the SCSS file that generated the CSS. As far as IE load Windows with IE in a VM and test it there or get an account with a multi-browser testing site in the cloud.</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:#0b5394"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:#0b5394">Maybe some of these other WYSIWYG editors may be fine for smaller projects (I still prefer Sublime Text for this). But for the enterprise sites (CMS-based 150k plus lines of code) I work on I need an IDE that can catalogue Ruby, JavaScript, SCSS, PHP, and SQL at a minimum. And a good IDE can inspect, create, and edit your SQL databases, transpile SCSS on the fly, bring up your LAMP server (Vagrant), and manage your VCS. Netbeans (IMHO) is the full FOSS IDE that is the easiest to install and configure and use out of the box.</div>

1) Graphics editor<br>

<br>
gimp is the most capable image editor available for Linux AFAIK. There are other image editors, but I don't think I've used any of them in the last 15 years. The problem that a lot of people seem to have with gimp is that it doesn't work exactly like photoshop. If gimp doesn't work for you, you might want to describe why it doesn't work, and then people could suggest other programs. I had to Read The Fine Manual before I could use gimp to do anything at all....<br>

Since IE renders HTML differently from Safari, which renders HTML differently from Firefox, I don't know that WYSIWYG is really *possible* in this context. People have tried--I remember the "bluefish" project at the very least, and there might be a fork of Mozilla Composer somewhere out there.<br>
<br>
What I've usually done here is set up apache running on localhost, put the HTML files into /home/me/public_html/<u></u>somewhere/ (if UserDir is enabled), then point my browser at <a href="http://localhost/~me/somewhere/" target="_blank">http://localhost/~me/<u></u>somewhere/</a> . Then I point my text editor at ~/public_html/somewhere/ , make changes, save the changed files, and push "reload" in the browser. This is probably not what you really want to do, but it'll show you *exactly* what it'd look like in the browser.<span><font color="#888888"><br>
