I would never install java on a windows machine. The few times I did install it I always seemed to end up with a virus from one web site or another. So I just made it policy not to install it and never had a problem with windows viruses.But it's java based, and I hate to install java/jre.
None of the IDEs or editors we've described in this thread are WYSIWYG HTML editors, like Dreamweaver is. They're all very similar to Notepad++ in the basic functionality - just your code in an editable window. The thing with different IDEs is the extra embellishments to make programming easier - like syntax highlighting, code completion, multiple panes, etcetera.I prefer to use Notepad ++. I feel that it allows me to directly view the code with out having to switch around. Now I do understand that Dreamweaver has the same thing where you can edit and view live preview as you do this. I guess you could say that I have no legit reason for wanting to use it over other applications, it's more or less a personal preference.

Anyway, I'm throwing my hat in with Sublime Text 3 because it is so light and extensible - Eclipse and PHPStorm always felt far to heavy for me, and I honestly never used 95% of their functionality. These days I'm auditioning Atom (which is basically Sublime for hipsters), but either are as good as the other.
And I shudder to think that anyone could try to any real work done in Notepad...
Yes and while it would be good for new labels, the existing label system is huge. I would have to recreate all of the labels from scratch. Design Pro uses it's own template system so I don't think importing is possible.Have you tried LibreOffice? You should be able to import all of your label templates into that no?
That argument's not held water for about 5 years nowGames.
To save having to keep an entire HDD running windows, why not grab a copy of VirtualBox (its free) and keep a really small Windows VM there.Avery's Design Pro for labels.
I've looked at linux alternatives, but none can do what I need to do the way I want to do it. At least none I've found.
