  VWD funnily enough. I'd be using VS2005 but I've heard some horror stories of the compatibility issues between that and Vista.

  I use Dreamweaver (though not really through choice as it's the only web design tool I have atm :)) and Photoshop/Paint Shop Pro. The main problem I have with Dreamweaver is that it sometimes likes to do things for you, usually when you don't want it to. It would be nice if there was a way to preview a Gadget without having to load it into the sidebar, too. Unfortunately the System.* object won't work in IE, otherwise the preview would be possible.

  I might try Expression Web and see what that's like, though...

  At first I used Notepad, but for better editing I use VS2005 now, also when there's always the compatibility note at startup.

  Up to now I had no problems with compatibility between VS2005 and Vista, and hope, that there won't be some in future...

  I'm actually using Expression Web at the moment (being a good Corporate Citizen).

  I've used Dreamweaver, Visual Studio Web, Notepad, TextPad, Eclipse and a bunch of other small editors and yeah since its all HTML + JavasCript through and through, its whichever blows your hair back really.

  I'm brewing a "SideBar Gadget Designer" in Windows Forms or Web Forms in my spare time.

  There is a workaround, instead of location.reload(), try location.href = 'mygadget.html'

  Just a simple text editor like scite or, to better manage the project, vs2005

  I'm using VS 2005 for debugging but I'm using uestudio '06 for editing.
