Webmatrix and Editra

Webmatrix - by Microsoft.

Comparing Webmatrix with Editra is as good as comparing David with Goliath.

Webmatrix is better.  Editra adds closing tags even to void tags and has no facility to directly launch a page in the browser. 

Choosing colours is much easier in Webmatrix Its just a matter of visual selection.  You need not bother about the code.  Its automatically generated.

The auto-complete feature also helps a lot.  I have learnt many rarely used commands and tags in HTML and CSS while writing code in Webmatrix.

Besides all these features Webmatrix comes with a built in IIS Server and a SQL database.  This makes things very easy.  PHP and ASP and ASPX pages can be loaded easily.  Website can be organised in a separate folder.  Uploading and editing a website is also possible.  It also helps in installing some free applications such as Moodle, Drupal and a few others on the local host.
