At Lab Hours this past Wednesday, several people asked about text editing tools that would make working on Drupal theme files (page.tpl.php, template.php, style.css) easier. I recommended the tool I use, Komodo Edit. It dawned on me that I had written about this before-- last May.
Well, I've been using Komodo Edit since then for all my themeing except for CSS for which I have a better tool (the not-free CSS Edit). It's easy to use and has been a great utility. Since there is a brand-spanking-new version of Komodo Edit and it seems to be relevant for many, here is my original post with links to Komodo and other tools: http://www.advantagelabs.com/more_sophisticated_editing_tools_for_developing_drupal

Link to Drupal.org handbook pages on software tools
While looking up something else on drupal.org this morning, I found the following handbook page with oodles of info and configuration instructions on many software packages that are helpful to those developing Drupal sites:
http://drupal.org/node/147789
Read through the entire thread to find many recommendations and caveats. This is also a good time to mention that on the Labtime email list, Christopher Mitchell put in a plug for jEdit, a java based tool he uses to edit code. It is noted with a link on the drupal.org node linked above.
