Code editor with lesscss support?

Do you know a good code editor that supports less syntax ?

I tried Netbeans with the lesscss module and it sucks, not auto-complete, the selection is inaccurate (and Netbeans doesn't even know CSS 3) ...

It should also have good support for PHP, HTML and JS :)

Zeus is a programmer's editor for the Windows platform, and syntax highlighting is easy to configure. Should it be possible to customize it to support lesser syntax?

Aptana IDE. , HTML5 (video, nav...) CSS3 (border-radius, transform...). , (source), LESS.

First step is to install LESS on Windows. If you already managed to install it head on over to Step 4!

Get Ruby for Windows from http://www.ruby-lang.org/ or -the easier- way: get the RubyInstaller for Windows from http://rubyinstaller.org/

Start Command Prompt with Ruby by clicking on Start --> Ruby 1.9xx --> Start Command Prompt with Ruby

Type in:
gem install less

If previous steps went fine you ready to use LESS. We just need to get Aptana to recognize our *.less fileformat. Let go.

In Aptana, go to Window --> Preferences --> General --> Editors --> File Associations

Add a new file type named *.less

With the newly created *.less file type selected associate a editor below by clicking Add.. | Select "Aptana CSS Editor" (that one should be the one right at the top).

You're done!

CodeMirror provides support for LESS (as well as JS, PHP, HTML). This is JavaScript (browser-based!), And there is a way to add automatic completion. It’s not worth adding what you need if you have JS skills.

Brackets is an excellent open source code editor from Adobe that has built-in LESS support with autocomplete and syntax highlighting.
