For me it's frontpage 2000 and psp and photoimpact.
I would use photoshop and dream thing but i rather go for the best and save money.
I use Swish also but since it's with internet.com i try to keep away from it.
I use Ulead cool 3D and ulead animator but mostly i use these two for a bit of mucking about since there a bit rubbish.

Oh yeah, how could I forget dear old Putty. If I've got to do any sort of diagram etc. then I'll use SmartDraw - bargain buy compared to Visio.

PhotoShop 7
Dreamweaver (when I don't have time to hand code something)
UltraEdit (for php mostly -- or hand coding when I have the time to sit and type out everything... ;) )

Photoshop 5.5
Illustrator 8 (only occasionally)
Flash 4 (also occasionally)
1st Page 2000

I downloaded a Dreamweaver demo but the clock is ticking and I haven't had much time to fool around with it... it also didn't feel very natural to use. I'm sure I'm missing something.

I'm surprised none of you have Visual Studio. Visual Interdev is great for coding.

Pico is a Linux based editor which I use to edit pages over SSH once they're already uploaded. I don't think there is a win32 version.

You might be able to find something on the Pine/Pico pages at http://www.washington.edu/pine/

These are the only two weapons in my arsenal:

Any more software would bankrupt me... :bawling:

I am 97% sure they use dreamweaver for html - the source looks like dreamweavers work.

Photoshop
Dreamweaver (Here and there)
Frontpage 2k (Messes up code, but I use it for the most basic thing - Styleless tables skeleton - Very easy to do them with it and saves a lot of fuss)
Flash - Rarely, for very basic animations. I don't have a flash license (yet), so I use it on a friends computer. :)
Paintshop Pro 7 - Easy to use, does a fast and good job for basic needs
Fireworks - I don't own it, use it rarely for optimization and menu's using a friend's computer (yes, it's the same friend :))

My secret weapon - TidyGUI.
It's invincible. Search for it in Google and download it.
It tides up your HTML code, making it W3C and XHTML compliant. :D

HomeSite 5.0
Photoshop 6 and 7 (Depending Where I am)
ImageReady
Coffecup FireStarter for flash
NotePad when HS is not accesible.
Dreamweaver sparingly
Illustrator 9 and 10 (Again, Depending Where I am)

I've found HomeSite to be the best thing between NotePad and the webpage editing software

The number one tool we use is:

The VI editor!!!!

We also use:

Windows Notepad!


But aswell, my designers have access to the following:

Adobe Photoshop 6
Adobe Illustrator 10
Adobe Imageready
Macromedia Flash MX
Macromedia Dreamweaver MX
Maya 3D <~~~Hasn't been used(much) by anyone in awhile
3d Studio Max
Xara 3D <~~~Hasn't been used by anyone in awhile
Strata 3D

They also all love this free xfree editor for nix, its just like 3d studio max, ill ask them the name when they are back in.

Most of the code on the sites we make is written in VI editor. Most of the design in photoshop and flash, and for 3d we use 3dsmax most commonly.

Dreamweaver 4
Paint Shop Pro 7
Adobe Photoshop 6
Corel Photo-Paint (Occasionally)
Adobe Illustrator 9 (Occasionally)

Most of the sites are do are adult in nature, so need nothing more than Dreamweaver and Photoshop, but I play with the others.

How is DreamweaverMX for those that are using it, haven't had the $$ to get the upgrade yet.
