What is the best IDE setup for web development? [closed]

I am starting a little side project which consists of building a small-medium sized, django-based, website.

However, last time I was actually in the business of websites, was a few good years ago. So while still technologically capable, I'm still rusted on the tools/IDE part of websites.

I am looking for an IDE which can support the following:

  • Basic HTML editing with syntax completion, highlighting, etc...
  • Basic CSS editing with syntax completion, highlighting, etc...
  • Python support for Django
  • Support for the entire develop-debug-FTP upload cycle

If all of this could happen inside my existing eclipse installation, it would be nothing short of perfection.

So what's your recommendation on web development IDEs?

EDIT: forgot to add that I'm running Win XP on my dev machine.


EDIT after answers: thanks all you guys for the helpful advice. I think I'm going to go with Aptana as it fits in to eclipse which I already use. Also I will look into version control instead of simple FTP upload. Apparently I didn't know how much it is used even in web projects.

You can use Aptana Studio with the Eclipse PyDev plugin to do all that (and a lot more). The best thing is that it's cross-platform, so you can install it on any computer you do development work on, and not have to learn multiple IDEs.
