Can someone suggest a good editor? I'm using WinEdit right now and I'm not
that happy with it (I seem to have an old edition and I'm not sure if it
was made by the same organization at www.winedit.com). I'm trying the new
version now but would like some advice and comments on other editors and how
you like them.

Thanks

If you're willing to pay ~$90, Microsoft VC++ 2003 is excellent.

Some good free ones:
- Crimson Editor
- pcGRASP
- Emacs

- Pete

VC++ 2003 is one of my favorites. I also like TextPad as a
lightweight editor. Both are Windows-only. SlickEdit is
another editor I like -- it's almost an IDE, though. Lots
of features and cross-platform, but rather costly.

TextPad! Ah! That's the one that I was thinking about. Thanks.

Hi Pmb,

You asked, " Can someone suggest a good editor ? "

I like Microsoft's Developers Studio.
i.e. The IDE that came with VC++ 6.0 .

But it has a number of short comings.
And I haven't really explored other options.

VC7 is much better than VC6, both as a compiler and
an editor/IDE. I wouldn't suggest VC6 to anyone now
that 7 is available.

Another good one (almost identical to TextPad) is EditPlus2. If you like
one, you'll like the other.

Hello, I just started programming in Python last night, and I've really enjoyed my experience so far. I would like to know if there is a Windows editor that recognizes Python and will support a module syntax/definition lists For instance, let's say that I set form = cgi and then when I hit the period (".") on the keyboard, a list of objects shows up, such as FieldStorage(), etc.. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thank you! Dustin

I would like to hear recommendations on good CSS editors. Personally, I would like a CSS editor with 'code-completion'. In effect, I would like to be able to see different properties and their possible values as I type, or at least next to the css-code window in a reference window. I have tried Style Master, but did not like it at all, it wasn't fast enough, and not 'pro' enough for a text-editor-kinda CSS designer like me.

Hi I've just upgraded some Type Editors from 1.1 to 2.0 and whilst they compile OK, I'm not getting any results in the test harness PropertyGrid. Usually when you select a particular property, the ellipsis appears at the end of the cell and this is not heppening. I was therefore wondering if there had been changes in TypeEditors between ..NET versions 1.1 and 2.0 that I hadn't hear about.
