I like that as a business we work with a designer to create custom websites and html that cater to our individual needs and style.

There aren't enough features. The dealbreaker for me was the ability to sync local files to my server.

What i like the most about this text editor is, in first place, the possibility to put on it my own macros. And also, i love that it has his own navegator integrated. The chance to edit stuff directly from an FTP also is relly helpful for what i use this for
