It can be kind of hard to maintain a large number of growing xslt-files in umbraco ui. I just downloaded stylus studio to edit the xslt-files (via ftp) in that environment. Seems pretty conveniant. Anyone else using that editor, or other editors? And is there any risk I mess up things editing the xlst-files directly?
4.1 wil have a better integrated editor for CSS, JS, Templates and XSLT with syntax highlighting. I'm really looking forward to it, so can't wait for 4.1 to become stable :-)
I use TextMate + Transmit on my Mac, and E-texteditor + LeechFTP on Windows. TextMate and E-texteditor can use the same bundle file (snippets, commands etc.) so I won't have to maintain two sets of brain cells for shortcuts...
I almost never edit the XSLT files from within Umbraco, and I've never had any issues with direct editing.
I've never had issues editing CSS, JavaScript or even the templates in "masterpages" directly either.
Thanks. Actually I'll stick with VS, found that opening only the xslt-folder over Ftp for sites that need xslt-development (not the full site as it seems to be too much for the VS - FTP to handle smoothly). It works nice to quick change xslt-files with the great editing possibilities in an full editor. I like the automatic intendation function and also everything else one is used to in VS. Stylus Studio also look good though.

Why not use vs? Yes, good question... I was looking for something new, something lighter... But I dunno, perhaps I should stay with good ol' vs.
