Anyone here do classic ASP development on the Mac? The biggest thing that I'm looking for is a Web Preview that is capable of handling ASP Include files. I personally use Textmate and Espresso for web development, but neither of those handle Include files. My boss is in love with Dreamweaver but I'm loathe to adopt it because I've never liked using it. If it's my only way to go then I'll have to but I was hoping someone knew of another environment that would work for me.

Why don't you use Parallels and then you can run Windows on your Mac for this purpose?

I haven't done ASP classic coding on a Mac in a few years, but for several years I worked as an ASP classic programmer and did most of my work on a Mac. To be honest, there wasn't much support. I had an ASP bundle for TextMate that did color coding, but I copied files to a testing server to actually check them out. (Of course, we used an old version of Dreamweaver, too, that didn't have great support for ASP either, so no one in the office that good ASP support.) I don't know if times have changed, but since ASP classic was getting a bit outdated even when I was an ASP classic developer, I'm guessing no one has bothered to improve support for it, especially on the Mac.

Coda is a decent mac editor. However I have also tried parallels and VMWare Fusion 3 with Visual Studio 2008. So far I have found that VMWare and VS 2008 works the most efficiently and does what I need.
