CSSEdit - The Way Editing CSS Should Be
January 25th, 2008 by Matthew Hager
I recently purchased the MacHeist bundle priced at $49.00 because I needed a copy of Snapz Pro X which was included. By itself Snapz Pro X runs $69.00 so this was a steal. I decided I would try out some of the other software that came in the bundle and found CSSEdit. As soon as CSSEdit opened I could tell It was meant to be.
CSSEdit takes the pain out of CSS. I usually use google to lookup CSS properties I don’t have memorized. With the full featured sidebar built into CSSEdit you will find yourself building complex styles in minutes and learning many of the CSS properties it generates in the process.
This was the final blow to Dreamweaver which I don’t use at all now. Between CSSEdit and TextMate I have everything I need to turn my image slices into fully functional websites.

I must agree… CSSEdit does make it so much easier to create and maintain CSS code. I too have standardized on TextMate and CSSEdit, and used to be an avid Dreamweaver user. An additional tool I would add is the FireBug extension for Firefox. This lets you visually inspect the page’s DOM once you have the page up in the browser. This offers a lot of benefits for troubleshooting problems as well as helping to further develop your understanding of CSS and the DOM.
