Eclise or Dreamweaver?

[Weiyan]

I download eclise as recommend in this site, its quite advance. Does Dreamweaver make the modifying XF easier? I mean whether its worth to buy Dreamweaver for making minor mods for xf.

If you want to buy dreamweaver just for XenForo, than I say no...
I think that you best use NotePad++ for that

Eclipse has my vote, but for webdav for example using Dreamweaver is very nice as well. I guess what I am saying is to use the right tools for the right job

I have Dreamweaver and must say I marvelously fail at figuring out how to do anything other than write code and watch the syntax errors pop up at me :-). Then again I couldn't even get Eclipse properly installed let alone figure out how to use it. ( I must not understand the purpose of webdav though I keep reading about it anyways. I will say though for as much as it's worth if you need help with syntax get dreamweaver and the html5 update package for it. It has saved me sooo much time (not that I'm the most productive individual) in figuring out how life muses at my failings. :-)

I don't know what return policies are like where you are but if they are any good go to a retail outlet and buy it, in the worst case it doesn't work for you and you return it. I do that with pretty much everything I have a whim about from a mouse and motherboard to software as well. As long as a company is willing to give me my money back if unsatisfied I have no reason to formally complain or rant about them and they by having a fair return policy gain a prospective customer in me with minimal risk involved to them. Everyone wins.

If that's not an option well there is always like vincent said notepad++ which would more than likely be a solid choice and it's free plus has been around for quite a while now.

All in all no matter what you choose remember http://www.w3schools.com/ is your friend, when I can't get an answer from a human that is the voice I listen for.

I personally don't use either, so my vote for one of the other doesn't really matter. I'm a big Panic fan and use their Coda product to develop. Yes, its not a true "IDE" because it can't read the XenForo directory and learn all the class names and such... But it works for me.
