Flux 2 - XHTML + CSS Editor (33% off before 1-7-09)
Howdy,
I've been spending a little time trying to find a (X)HTML editor for the Mac. I've used Coda and recently missed the Panic Software sale, had I known I would have bought it. As it is I've got a chance to look around at alternatives. And so I am playing with Flux 2 from theescapers.com. The developers want Flux 2 to be a DreamWeaver killer and although it is early days it has promise.
Flux 2:
- * Is an extensible WYSIWYG XHTML and CSS page editor with a Code Editing
- * Has a useful debugger, a built in preview (though I'd like to see an option to preview in any installed browser)
- * Supports jQuery, Ruby On Rails, MooFX out of the box
- * Can publish pages via S/FTP and MobileMe
- * is Beta software and contains a few bugs
There's a handful of fairly important things for them to get right yet but I got carried away and bought a license for it. It's a bit of a leap of faith but I like it enough to invest in it's future 
In use it can be a bit frustrating because of the bugs but if you are interested in HTML editors and can't stretch to Dreamweaver it might be worth a look. The developers seem very responsive and there have been regular updates. Flux 2 sells for £40 I would imagine post Beta that price will go up.
MacTech have a discount code worth 33% off the current price of 40 GBP which is valid until the 1st of July MacTech
