[...] Amaya: A Simple, Yet Useful Alternative to Dreamweaver Amaya is a quick and neat HTMl editor. I couldn’t find any issues, except that it needs to keep up with the new technologies. For instance, it isn’t made to build smartphones apps, which I saw in other free HTML editors. It also doesn’t support Ajax, which is being used more and more. [...]

Thanks you for this review.
Amaya is not as stable and full-features as Dreamweaver, but very useful though, and free.
Version 11.3 is out!

The screen is unstable in so much it often jumbles what is on screen.

I didnt seem to be able to edit the source code and it was not obvious how to get the source code to show anyway. In the end I got the source to show.

I dont think I will be using it.

All the best

@Shevonne A Polastre

I was wrong about what I wrote about amaya in so much that I had tried aptana studio not amaya.

I am just installing amaya on slackware and I will see how it goes.

Sorry about that.

The three you mentioned are good HTML editors as well. Aptana has tons of plugins and functionality that makes it a powerhouse HTML editor. I didn’t have a problem with the crashing that you experienced. Thanks for commenting!

This article caused me to try Amaya for OS X again; I had not tried it for more than a year. I running 10.4.11 on a PPC G4.

Although it is greatly improved, I still find the following characteristics prevent me from adopting it for everyday use:

1. It crashes about a third of the time on launch, and about one in ten times on quitting.

2. When it does launch successfully, it takes more than a minute to start (display its menu bar) and another 30 seconds to display my simple home page.

3. It ignores all but the most basic font family css attributes. Thus the preview display is nothing like the way it actually appears in a browser.

For now, I’m using SeaMonkey, Quanta Plus, and Aptana Studio.

Wendell,

I never had to use open source or free HTML editors because I’ve been using Dreamweaver for many years, or just coded it without an editor. Sorry if this offended you.

I am a little disappointed that the writer was unaware of Amaya, since I used it some years ago in an attempt to learn HTML without expensive and time consuming courses.

Several web development professionals with whom I am acquainted have also told me their “unanimous” support for Quanta Plus as an equal or superior product to Adobe Dreamweaver.

They indicate one telling issue with Dreamweaver is it’s inability to produce “clean” HTML code, which is another reason many “truly” professional web coders use an HTML text editor, like VIM or EMACS.

Apparently Ms. Polastre’s experiences in Web Development are more limited than she may acknowledge.
