My Weapon Of Choice Is... Blowfish

Being on Ubuntu Linux restricts me a tiny bit in which text editor I can use; either because software isn't compatible at all with it, or because it would be compatible but I need to compile it on my system, or run it under WINE. This is a good thing really, considering the fact I would like to learn the art of Webcraft using solely Open Source Software.

By default on my system I have been playing around with Gedit, usually just to copy pieces of text or code there and back that I wanted to edit. However I also gave Blowfish Editor a go, and found it was much better at auto-completing my text (not that I needed it of course- my previous lesson had taught me extremely well ;). It is nice to have the coding equivalent of a spell-check, though.
