What is your preferred choice of web design software?and also the development software? Do you use just one program or a bundle?

That's a really broad question. For editing code, I use Notepad++ on Windows and gedit on Linux. For graphics work, I use GIMP. I use the Adobe Flex SDK for some Flash/Actionscript work (not really my forte). As for Firefox plugins, I use Firebug and Noscript.

My entire development stack is composed of open source or free (as in beer) software.

Hi,

Im not in the field of Web Designing nor programming but this might help you.

Development:
BlueFish (*nix opensource)
Dreamweaver (windows)
Graphics:
GIMP (*nix opensource)
adobe (windows)

Who has the time...

For the web devs out there, which do you think is used more often in Dubai: Windows or Unix development?

I use Dreamweaver and Notepad almost all the time when creating/editing HTML and CSS files - Dreamweaver to whip up a quick HTML file and Notepad when I want to add a few specific details.
