Hippo power HippoEDIT HTML-Optimizer

Hippo power
Software developers are often consummate power users, especially when it comes to their favorite tools and utilities. Apps like HippoEDIT are aimed directly at that mindset. You might not get the prettiest interface or, um, the most dignified name--but you will get power features like real-time code hints and a serious template engine with a ton of built-in tags (not to mention an editor boasting more than 160 built-in commands with customizable shortcuts). HippoEDIT comes with plenty more developer-friendly features, so if you're itching to try an editor that chooses butt-kicking over hand-holding, make sure you check it out.

Already have a favorite code editor? You can find plenty of other functionality in this week's software Picks: FlySpeed DB Migrate will save you time when you're moving MySQL or SQL Server databases; HTML-Optimizer is a smart HTML code and script optimization tool; and Setup Factory gives you everything you need to create compact, secure, self-contained installers.
