I can personally recommend this piece of software for being light weight and doing all the basic stuff you will need. If you’re building a really big project I wouldn’t recommend it, but for building your personal project it’s perfect. Every webdeveloper should have a copy on a memorystick or installed on their own computer!
The only negative thing about it is that it’s only available for Windows. I’m sorry penguins, devils and apples…
