I’m another of those Mac users. ;)
I started with TextWrangler but switched to Coda after seeing it introduced in the Podcast.
Of course, Photoshop.
Cyberduck for FTP
A program called "SpamStopper" that changes a text e-mail address into Java script. It doesn’t stop all spam (some of the spam crawlers now can read the Java script addresses) but it certainly stops a lot of it.One thing the Podcast didn’t mention (but I saw it on a different Podcast) was a Dashboard widget that produces Lorem Ipsum text. That is really useful!
A great Adobe Air program called "WebKuts" that can take a complete, multi-page screen shot of any website and save it as a jpg. Great for making a compilation of your favorite website designs.
That’s about it for web design.

April 3, 2008 at 11:07 am #46758FlaviaMemberWhoo-hoo! Mac users galore! Me too! (Enough with the exclamation points already!)
Mac (at home):
Aptana/BBEdit (though I’m experimenting with Coda and TextMate)
Photoshop/Illustrator
Firebug, Web developer toolbar (I would be a lot slower without it)
TransmitWin (at work):
jEdit (just because of its customizable syntax highlighting plugin – we use HTML::Template perl Module so it’s a blessing (no perl-pun intended :D) to see all kinds of <TMPL_..> tags at once, each type (conditionals, loops, vars…) with its very own highlight style. Maybe there are other options for this, but I didn’t find them as for now)
Aptana (for everything that’s not HTML::Template’d)
Fireworks
SftpDrive
Firebug, Web developer toolbar
Fireshot (FF plugin to take screenshots)plus, the most browsers I can get my hands on, with a little help from a virtual machine running Ubuntu (at work and at home) and WinXP (at home).
Cheers!

cute ftp for upload my files,
app server for testing my sites locally.June 1, 2008 at 7:42 pm #47697ThinkSoJoEMemberI do most of my design and coding on Linux, I’ve had problems running Photoshop through Wine, but as powerful as it is, I don’t think GIMP is really suitable as a replacement when it comes to doing the PSD to CSS type of thing. Bluefish works great as an editor for all of my coding, and I used to have a separate editor for CSS, though I forget which (but will probably re-install it when I get to work tonight).
Anybody have any tips for linux users as far as software to use to design my mockups?

December 8, 2011 at 1:47 pm #92226districtwebMemberI was wondering what the upside to using Photoshop for web design instead of Fireworks was.. specifically for wordpress theme design? I feel that Fireworks is much easier to learn than PS, but I’m not sure it’s optimal for the WordPress theming…
December 8, 2011 at 2:20 pm #92240TheDocMemberHoly three year old thread…
It has nothing to do with WordPress theming and is 100% personal preference. Personally, I use Photoshop.
December 8, 2011 at 2:36 pm #92245standuncanMemberBack from the dead!!!
I use to like Fireworks and solely use it, until I learned more about Photoshop and now that is all I use. In my opinion I think Photoshop is much more powerful than Fireworks, however for some things like designing and creating simple small patterns Fireworks is much quicker/easier. Really it is all about personal preference and your abilities in each program.
December 8, 2011 at 2:50 pm #92248districtwebMemberThanks @TheDoc and @standuncan for responding! I know it’s an old thread, but what can I say?
Stan, do you know of any Fireworks video tutorials that could help me with the web design process. I know how to use the program, but I’m not sure if there are certain protocols I should follow when designing for WordPress themes? For example, specific layering or naming techniques etc for divs or layout pieces…
December 8, 2011 at 2:53 pm #92250TheDocMemberDesigning for a WordPress theme is no different than designing for a website built on any platform.
December 8, 2011 at 4:26 pm #92261jamygoldenMemberI have pretty much the exact as @cnwtx – however I use Virtualbox ( A virtual machine application ) + Windows XP + Photoshop CS3 for image editing.
