Open Source Web Development Tools

Linux.com has a survey of Linux web development tools. It is good research for those new to the open source web development scene.

Personally, I use a combination of Bluefish and gVim for my development, with the intention to move fully towards gVim as I develop a more complete understanding of the application.

Unfortunately, the article gives readers a look at Nvu. I don’t want to sound like an elitist, but if people want to develop web sites and have the ability to run linux as their operating system of choice, the shouldn’t need WYSIWYG editors. Simply put, these editors can’t be relied on to produce valid code. HTML isn’t that difficult to begin with.
