• Create a project
• Work with different documents at the same time in a tabbed environment
• Highlight
• Auto-completion
• Color picker
• Code Explorer (a really great features!)
• Eyedropper (very useful to pick a color directly from your browser or any window open on your desktop)
• templates (HTML tags, scripts, code templates…)
• spell checker
• HTML Preview using IE and Fireworks
  
• FTP client (with possibility to edit directly your files from your webserver)
• save desktop sessions to later reopen all session files
