afduarte5998yvim? even nano... It's all you need to create responsive websites... I personally do it with brackets, and I never felt the need to use something other than linux
-
I use sublime and chrome's code inspector to make a website responsive. Just simulate in Chrome and copy past that code in sublime editor.
-
morhir1448yInkscape and gimp are great tools on Linux for design.
And PhpStorm IDE works perfect :) -
PhpStorm + Chrome Devtools is my way to go. Currently exploring TypeScript / Visual Code though
-
afduarte5998y@RandomDesigner VSCode is awesome! Its my middle ground between sublime text and a full blown IDE
-
morhir1448yI can't believe the number of people that use sublime, honestly if they just tried to use Phpstorm for just one day properly they would be hooked.
There's a whole load of compilers and debugging tools baked in, deployment tools, understands external library's and they work with auto completion and composer!
Please anyone using sublime just try it even if it's for one day! -
afduarte5998y@morhir try opening a 100MB XML dump in PHPStorm and you'll know why. Sublime is my general editor, I use full blown IDEs, but only when the job requires it, I'm not gonna open Webstorm just to edit one line in a css file
-
morhir1448y@afduarte I still use sublime for opening massive xml, sql file and etc but Phpstorm is my primary.
-
juzles38618yI'm now interested why you must work on osx to create responsive websites.
I'm using phpstorm + sublime + chrome web tools btw too -
Shit you can't design in code (not properly anyway). You need a good vector/ image application. The Affinity stuff is great, but I guess your pretty limited on Ubuntu.... Get a Mac or threaten to leave. They are supposed to provide you with tools to do your job. It's like telling a builder on site to use a woolly hat cos they are cheaper than hard hats. Twats.

geewhiz1018y@morhir you wanna give me an onboarding because I tried PHPstorm for a day and decided it was overkill and went back to sublime... I abandoned Dreamweaver in favor of Sublime's simplicity... Thought I was regressing using PHPstorm
-
@juzles He is on Ubuntu, hence the difficulty. Yes you can get the Adobe suite for PCs.

Woah! Just woke up to a barrage of comments.
Ok to clarify - I may be stuck, at least partially, in the old ones. I like to design before I build.
Sketch or Macaw are both good apps for designing responsive websites but neither are available on linux. As I've said regarding PHP's laughably unsupported on Windows, the logical choice must be OS X. -
I used to have it running on host Windows to guest Ubuntu virtual box type setup. I'd work on Windows but the PHP interpreter would be on the virtual machine running linux.
We quickly discovered node modules (required for most of my projects) were preventing the folder share from mounting on the guest machine. -
I have tried vagrant yes. That was how I created the Ubuntu virtual machine on my old Windows PC.
However, I get the problem when installing node modules on any of my projects. Something to do with bin links.

Being a front end develop of mostly PHP projects and also designer of everything for the company, probably best that I use OS X most of the time.
My place doesn't agree. They realise that I can't use Windows because it's support of PHP is laughable at best. However, they don't understand how difficult it is find a good quality piece of Ubuntu software for designing responsive websites. It just doesn't exist as far as I'm aware.
