I just started using Joomla about 4 weeks ago. Previously we had written and used our own CMS ( using php/mysql ). We were using Dreamweaver for coding.
I have just starting using eclipse and have set up our own SVN repository for web projects.
I have no problems with some of the back-end stuff in joomla (IE: moving menus aroung, typing meta information/titles etc) in fact most of it is extremely nice.
I do have issues with using a text-box to put my (x)html content in. Even for something simple it takes a lot longer than if I could just use my preferred editor (IE: dreamweaver, eclipse, or notepad++). I want syntax highlighting (and proper word wrap/line wrap), line numbers etc...
So how is everyone else doing things? Are you keeping a folder somewhere of your content and then pasting it into the backend? Is there some secret way of doing things that makes this easier?

- I personally don't do a lot of content editing, but my preferred method is to cut-n-paste the html code (disable wysiwyg) and then switch the code in and out of dreamweaver. While I don't get all my CSS/formating stuff it does give me syntax/code highlighting.

I just saw this syntax highlighting extension which looks interesting and will try soon. <
extensions.joomla.org/component/option,c...k_id,4357/Itemid,35/
>.
I also saw something called CoderMCE which may help.
I also think the fastest way (for content) is to copy paste from your favorite text editor. For the rest of the files css, php etc. I use Textwrangler on a Mac and Textpad on Windows. ::M::

- it should be possible to set up a site with the template's css files and edit your content in dreamweaver to then paste it back
