Vi and VIM are best editors in Linux.
|
|
|
|
|

I use JEdit, has many many features.

HtmlKit on windows can do the trick. You can live-edit your files on the Unix/Linux PC from within your Windows desktop. As you click the Save button, the file is FTPed onto the Linux box behind the scenes without any user intervention. The file format can be toggled between Windows/Unix.

Why don't just use windows and UltraEdit?

It might be a little late but you might want to look at SlickEdit.

I this this polll is missing most popular editor i.e. Edit Plus.
This editor is by far better and light weight then any of the editors mentioned in the poll.
|
|

|
|
I agree, EditPlus is my favorite.

I have been using Edit Plus for a very longtime (maybe 7-8 years) and it very good, with syntax coloring etc.

For those not using notepad ++, if u like me a work with ie view source and view the html output in the default notepad its dull an not at all friendly, notepad ++ overrides the default plain bare bones notepad.
Works for me like a charm,

Who could possibly WANT to use vi?
Obviously someone who enjoys pain!

Heh, I thought the same thing when I first tried ![Beer | [beer]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/beer.gif) however I changed my mind after a while.
Same for vi. Looks horrible until you get to know it and then it is hard to use anything else.

Vi and Vim are good editors, but if you like consoles

They can be made friendly too. It needs a bit of effort. There are configuration files which would persist your preferences. Some vi flavors also have file recovery right?

vi's good. vi's fast and efficient. It's got a steep learning curve though.

I am, but that doesn't make vi any worse editor now, does it?

I'm surprised it's not in the list.

As am I. I've been using it for about six years now...legally!
|
|
|
|
|
Me too - I've been using it for...I guess 10 years? I know I got it on 3.5" floppy, as downloads weren't really de rigeur at that point. The company I work for has got a site license as well, so I can use it at work legally.

Same here. I've been happy with it for years.

I was also quite surprised it was not on the list. I mistakenly typed in TextEdit (from Mac programming world) instead of TextPad...
But, I decided to try some that were on the list I had not used, like Notepad++ and I found out I liked it a bit more. I have been a devout user of Textpad for many, many years (not Wildedit), but I found the out-of-the box capabilities, plugins, native language support in Notepadd++ nice.
I have used UltraEdit, many devs in my office swear by it, and I found that emacs for Windows/Unix (quite painful to learn), for the capabilities.

I used it briefly several years ago. I'd say UltraEdit and TextPad are comparable - or they were at the time.

Tried Emacs briefly when I had to do two months of Unix dev several years ago. I couldn't get on with it. I asked the hardcore Unix guys in the team if I should learn vi and surprisingly they said no! In the end I just ended up using the Unix CDE equivalent of Notepad - can't remember what it was called. Not at all satisfactory. It all just added to my hatred of Unix.
