I would like to hear recommendations on good CSS editors.
Personally, I would like a CSS editor with 'code-completion'.
In effect, I would like to be able to see different properties and their
possible values as I type, or at least next to the css-code window in a
reference window.
I have tried Style Master, but did not like it at all, it wasn't fast
enough, and not 'pro' enough for a text-editor-kinda CSS designer like me.
cheers,

Very difficult to achieve this, how is an editor going to know if an
element accepts for example padding? The editors that I know of offer an
unqualified list of properties, making the feature worse than useless
(because it suggests to the uninitiated that it should work).

For me the only useful function in an editor to edit css is syntax
highlighting. YMMV, try Topstyle.

Hmm, makes me wonder if you have ever used a code-completing editor?
Basically you start by typing a propertys initial letter. Then a popup-
box containing all the properties starting with that letter is shown,
and suitable entry can be selected with the arrow keys + enter, OR
typing can be continued. Like with google suggest, which suggests
keywords as you type:
http://www.google.com/webhp?complete=1&hl=en
After a property has been selected, say 'display:', then code completion
can offer possible values. Imagine the lighting speed you could type
stylesheets with!

I'm doing css 9-10 hours per day - any shortcut provided by a tool is
welcome. Syntax highlighting only isn't enough.
Oh yes, I like TopStyle. Its almost there, but it lacks 'basic' advanced
text editor features.

Can't stand the feature myself, you have to move your fingers to the
cursor keys, or your eyes to the presented options and select a hotkey.
In the time it takes to do that I've typed another 2 rules.

I also tried Style Master, but I found it so-so.
I would definately recommend TopStyle. I use it all day long.

Agreed. I "used" that feature the first time when learning Visual Basic. It
took all of about 5 minutes for me to start looking for how to turn it off!

For what it's worth, Dreamweaver 2004 does this. It's expensive, though.
You can get a 30(?) day free trial from the macromedia website. It also
does a good job of showing you what CSS rules are being applied, and in what
order.

JP,
You might try NoteTab Pro with one of the CSS extensions. Then run
your code through Mozilla Firefox with the Checky extension to see
how "pro" your coding was. The end result is valid CSS.
