I am starting a little side project which consists of building a small-medium sized, django-based, website.
However, last time I was actually in the business of websites, was a few good years ago. So while still technologically capable, I'm still rusted on the tools/IDE part of websites.
I am looking for an IDE which can support the following:
- Basic HTML editing with syntax completion, highlighting, etc...
- Basic CSS editing with syntax completion, highlighting, etc...
- Python support for Django
- Support for the entire develop-debug-FTP upload cycle
If all of this could happen inside my existing eclipse installation, it would be nothing short of perfection.
So what's your recommendation on web development IDEs?
EDIT: forgot to add that I'm running Win XP on my dev machine.
EDIT after answers: thanks all you guys for the helpful advice. I think I'm going to go with Aptana as it fits in to eclipse which I already use. Also I will look into version control instead of simple FTP upload. Apparently I didn't know how much it is used even in web projects.
