LOL. You’re talking about vi, I thought you were saying the program was called “Eversteady 6″. Yes, I know vi, it is my most hated enemy =)

In regards to CSSZenGarden, I am very aware of that site. It really shows the power of CSS, since every single design has the exact same HTML file underneath it.

Yeah, I had never heard of vi either until I got into the working world. It’s a staple on all unix/linux systems. I like it because I can navigate around the document easily without having to reach for the mouse. It takes a little getting used to, but once you are comfortable it is really nice.

Oh, one more thing. You may or may not have ever seen csszengarden.com. It has some really amazing CSS designs from a whole bunch of professional graphic artists.

I agree Adam, color schemes are a bit like musical compositions, it’s all math! Why not let the computer do the calculations :)

As far as eversteady, I’ve never heard of it but I will check it out!

Hey Mike, some really good stuff here! I especially like the ColorBlender site. Trying to pick out color schemes out of thin air is almost impossible for me.

I agree with your comment about WYSIWYG tools. Too much junk.

As for editors, the eversteady VI supplies sytax coloring and its free!
