Free Text Editor For Linux

 

I always think the best web page development environment is one that strikes a medium between being a basic text editor and a fully functional IDE. A text editor is too basic for me whereas a WYSIWYG editor like Dreamweaver is just overpriced and irritating. What I want is a text editor with syntax highlighting, the ability to edit files via FTP and some good search functionailty.

Enter Bluefish.

Bluefish is a free text editor for Linux that does just that. You can download it from here: http://www.icewalkers.com/Linux/Software/56950/BlueFish.htm or you can get it through the package manager on Debian-based Linux distros:

sudo apt-get install bluefish
