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

IMHO the best editor is
SciTE(http://scintilla.sourceforge.net/SciTE.html). It supports syntax
highlighting for a plethora of languages, and code folding, brace
matching, indentation guides, LUA scripting and much more. And it Free
Software.
Comes with an installer and some nice extra polish(better default
settings) in this version: http://gisdeveloper.tripod.com/scite.html
Hi Jerry Coffin,
Ho-o-o-o-ollly crap,
Thanks for that VC7 story:
news:b2******** *************** **@posting.goog le.com
Such horror. Boy am I glad I didn't upgrade to .NET .
Before you told me that story,
I didn't upgrade simply because I figured
the next upgrade would be a waste of money
just like the VC 5 to 6 was.
And because I was worried about all the .NET bullshit.
Thanks for confirming my fears.
I hope you aren't using the VC6 compiler.. Perhaps you can bend the
Visual C++ 2003 Toolkit to work with the VC6 IDE, because the new
compiler is incredibly much better.
> > 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.
Your statement makes me suspect you've never actually
used EITHER of them.
That's a bit harsh given that one's opinion of an IDE is
largely a matter of purely subjective personal preference.
I have already stated that I am new to VC7 and that my
reasons for upgrading were primarily motivated by the
compiler, not the IDE. I'm not picky about editors.
Sometimes I use SlickEdit. Other times I use TextPad. And
sometimes I good old vi does the trick.
A few extra steps to perform some simple actions is
not a big deal when I consider that I gain a much more
standard-compliant compiler, a better debugger, and some
nice IDE features like tabbed autohide docking windows.
I sympathize with your very specific example, but if I had
a code snippet to compile, I would just use the command
line and not bother with a project in VC6 or 7.
Ultimately it's a matter of preference. Like all things
Microsoft, you either love 'em or hate 'em. I happen to
think VC7 is pretty good.
Hi Robin Eidissen,
Re: VC6 vs. 7 .
You commented,
" the new compiler is incredibly much better. "
Hmm ... Better at what ? Standards ? Optimizations ?
I might not need the same features as you.

Well you have a point there, but it's definately better at both.

No bending needed. Just change some options to point to the new
compiler, includes, and libs.
Works great, lasts a long time.

Is there anywhere one can get the dynamically linked multithreaded
runtime? It doesn't come with the toolkit.
Hi Derek,
You said VC7 has, " a better debugger ".
What do you think is better about it ?

TextPad (http://www.textpad.com). Awesome editor.
For a real Windows programmer's editor take a look at Zeus :) http://www.zeusedit.com/lookmain.html
Some of the Zeus programming features include:
+ Code completion and intellisensing
+ Integrated class browser
+ Project/workspace management
+ Fully configurable syntax highlighting
+ Seamless FTP editing
+ Integrated version control using the Microsoft Source Code
Control (SCC) interface, including CVS integration.
+ Quick Help context sensitive help engine

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!

I am compiling a list of XML editors and categorizing them by WYSIWYG,

The current list is available @ http://www.xml-dev.com/xml/editors.html
Any feedback/addition/correction will be highly appreciated.

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.
