[wp-hackers] Different background colors for different code blocks to help keep organized code

[Jamie Currie]

  I've been using Netbeans for a few years now and while it's got its 
quirks, it's very powerful and integrates very nicely with Github. There 
are a good amount of plugins to extend it and it's not hard to write 
them yourself if there's something in particular you want it to do or do 
differently. Plus, it's open source.

That's more for heavy code stuff -- writing plugins, etc. For general 
site design / theme modification Notepad++ also has a ton of great 
features, is also open source and has a ton of plugins.
