Review:
Arachnophilia is one of the first text-based HTML editors that hit the market, and it still has that nostalgic look and feel of a Windows program created in 1996. The interface hasn't changed much through the years, but this didn't stop the addition of new features.
Arachnophilia has an internal browser that refreshes itself on each keystroke, a spell checker, and a built-in FTP client that can automatically upload changed files. It supports syntax highlighting for HTML, Perl, C++, Java, and JavaScript, keyboard macros that can include system commands and other macros, user-defined toolbars with user-defined content, and search & replace across open documents. Arachnophilia can also convert plain text and RTF files into HTML, and analyze your site's structure. Unlike similar programs, Arachnophilia starts with one toolbar on the top and one toolbar on the bottom to prevent a crowded interface. You can turn on additional toolbars by clicking the bottom toolbar, which is very convenient to use.
it's simple, a good webdesigner or developer can code html fluently. Heck, it's a basic need. If you can't you have no business posing as a webdesigner. At most you are a wannabee.
The program itself is decent, but lacks compared to the likes of Homesite.
RAW HTML is a waste of time. It doesn't make you a better coder if you do it by hand. Furthermore, Arachnophilia makes me want to puke. The GUI is boring but yes, simple. Stupid waste of resources for someone to develop something like Arach.. Best of luck on ver. 5.
