Alternative to TopStyle Pro

I have been doing CSS editing for many, many years and my tool of choice in the past has always been TopStyle Pro.  However, I recently discovered that this product is being discontinued since it was purchased by the makers of CSE HTML Validator: https://www.htmlvalidator.com/topstyle/

Therefore, as soon as I discovered this, I began looking for alternatives and fortunately I did not have to look very far to find a very good alternative by Blumentals called Rapid CSS Editor: http://www.rapidcsseditor.com/

It looks very much like TopStyle Pro and has around the same cost as the earlier license of TopStyle Pro of around $39.95 ($29.95 for a Personal license)!
