Webdesign in Kubuntu: what best to use instead of "Quanta Plus"?
Hello everybody
When switching from Kubuntu 11.04 to 11.10, I remarked that "Quanta Plus" is not any more in the repository. When checking this forum and elsewhere, I found out that there "Quanta Plus" seems to be too obsolete.
*
However it may be, at this moment, I am using at least 7 packages for webdesign:
Kompozer - for "WYSIG" web authoring,HTML, CSS and PHP;
Kate for code writing, copying unformatted texts, etc.;
Gwenview for quick and efficient standard operations with image files, like cutting, resizing, etc.;
KSnapshot for copying images into single image files;
Gimp for more complicated projects with image files;
Firefox and other browsers to test the outcome of any web design effort;
"FireFTP" for file transfer to upload new pages to the web.
*
My question is: is there any other package you would recommand me using for web design purposes in Kubuntu 11.10 and 12.04?
Respectfullly yours,
Bas Roufs.

Inkscape - great for creating SVG files and for manipulating the free ones on
http://openclipart.org/ - which can then be exported as png's.

I definitely miss Quanta+, and I really wish it would be updated for later versions of KDE. Alas, it's probably not to be.
I use Kate for coding purposes, and an in-house graphic designer for the graphics on our site. ;-)

I loved Quanta but alas it appears to be forever dead. I have switched
to NetBeans with the PHP extension and it is doing very well for me.
You wont find a PPA for it, though, so you need to download it from
their site: http://netbeans.org/downloads/ and be sure to pick the one
with "php" marked.

A couple of other programs which are frequently mentioned are bluefish
and seamonkey, it has a composer mode. Seamonkey in all versions of
Ubuntu is out of date and has security issues... You can get more up
to date versions with ubuntuzilla,
https://launchpad.net/~joe-nationnet/+archive/seamonkey-dev. or
getting it directly from http://www.seamonkey-project.org/.
I thought I read something recently that said a set of plugins for
kdevelop will be used to replace quanta. Perhaps one of the Kubuntu
developers can tell us more...
http://kdevelop.org/ says:
KDevPlatform
is a free, open source set of libraries that can be used as a
foundation for IDE-like programs.
It is programing-language independent, and is planned to be used by
programs like: KDevelop, Quanta, Kile, KTechLab ... etc.

Why not using the Java based Eclipse, Aptana or Netbeans ?. There work greatly.

For what web development I do, I use the same editor that I use for
Fortan, IDL and LaTeX -- emacs.
