Editor Wars!
Ok, I hope it won't cause a whole bunch of angry flames, but I really am curious...
What is your favorite editor? If you don't have a favorite, which do you use most often? ( And I resisted putting "CowboyNeil as an option - there are plenty of those here: http://slashdot.org/pollBooth.pl?sec...qid=740&aid=-1 ) Last edited by LivinFree; 01-31-2002 at 03:02 AM. |

edlin! Haha...great choice.
I use pico all the time because it integrates with my mail client, pine. However, vim/gvim is my editor of choice for just about any other use -- the "-t" flag is absolutely the best when hacking on source code. Kword is useful for reading those bloated .doc format files that co-workers keep sending me. As Neo said, different tools for different jobs. |

Being a contractor - moving around a bit I now rely on VI for most if not all my editing. Other tools i.e. emacs, JEdit, etc can be good and easier than VI (but slower in many ways once you know it well) - but as I am a transient, I always end up with VI as at least I know it's always going to be avialable where I move to.

Code:
copy con > somefile.txt Actually. Under Unices I prefer to use elvis or vim. Under Win32 I prefer to use notepad but really miss the power of vi. If I wasn't such a slacker I'd just purchase UltraEdit for Win32 and be done with it. Anybody here ever use Brief? I used to code in xBase with Brief many, many years ago and like the ability to perform block based cut and paste. Wow. Flashback... Wordstar2000 key commands under Borland IDEs...
