Your fav editor
 
So spit it up... what's your fav editor, why and for what languages do you use it?

Mine personally is jedit. I use it mainly for java but not exclusively.
Unfortunately for odd reasons jedit refuses to work on my current SuSe machine (damn SuSe for making it so hard to install anything not directly supported by them) so I am forced to alternatives.
I used Zend editor for a while, and it is amazing for PHP (which I am now coding a lot in) the autofunctioncompletion thingee saves sooo much time. But unfortunately I lack the monetary means to continue using it (ie: purchase a license) so I am forced to alternatives.
Right now I use Quanta, which is a nice little editor for Linux, although, having used Zend, I miss my autocompletion like hell.

So what do you use?

asshopo 01-08-2004 08:46 AM

Honestly, I tried Linux on the desktop (a whole other thread, I know), and I, overall, don't like it for desktop purposes. Servers its great :)

Back on topic:
I use either TextPad or EditPad 2. Both have unique functions that make them nice.

Yes, Im a MS junkie, so MS Studio and Studio.NET is where I spend alot of my time. But for PHP (when I need it) I use a "free" version of Zend.

sailor 01-08-2004 09:30 AM

TextPad! Greatest text editor I have ever seen.

Pragma 01-08-2004 06:06 PM

cat. :p

To be serious, I use vim for almost everything I do:
C, C++, Java, Perl, shell scripting, Lex, Yacc, etc.

The only things I use a different editor for:
.NET languages, at which point I turn to my trusty copy of Visual Studio 2003 .NET (thank you, university, for giving it to me for free)

sailor 01-08-2004 06:26 PM

Yeah, vim is good too. I didnt know how to use it until a month ago, when I was on a machine that didnt have anything else to use, but I learned to like it. I like it a lot more than emacs now.

The_Dude 01-08-2004 08:25 PM

I use bluejay for java! I'm a noob!

feelgood 01-08-2004 08:38 PM

Well, I'm stuck between using JEdit or NetBeanIDE for Java. But JEdit, I use it for Oracle all the time.

cheerios 01-09-2004 12:31 AM

tools of the trade for this coder vary widely. on windows: textPad, VC++(the one BEFORE .net, please)
everywhere else: vim, eclipse, jedit, subethaedit, xCode

Saves me time. :D

cheerios 01-09-2004 01:35 AM

ooh missed part. languages...
C, C++, Obj-C, Java, PHP, Perl, Python, then the assorted random ones :)

textpad & eclipse are for java, vC++ is for C++ everything else is done in everything else ;) except Obj-C which I do pretty exclusively in xCode

Moskie 01-09-2004 03:42 AM

When all else fails: Emacs. It can be a bitch to learn, but it does some handy stuff when you get used to it.

I've recently discovered Eclipse. It's made by IBM, is free, and has a lot of plug-ins for a handful of languages. I've used it for writing, compiling and debugging Java apps and Perl scripts mainly, messed around with some C++ in it as well, and I've been really happy with it.

hrdwareguy 01-09-2004 08:11 AM

On a linux/unixbox I use VI, for Windows programming I use the IDE that came with the language (C++ Builder, VB.NET, Delphi). For all other editing I use the old standby, of MS Edit.

WarWagon 01-09-2004 09:49 AM

I used BlueJay when I did java

kel 01-09-2004 10:09 AM

I use VI for everything. All the fancy tools may save a split second typing but don't change the amount of time actually spent developing a program.

For debugging purposes I might use an editor that integrates breakpoints with gdb/jdb if it is an extremely large piece of code written by some other person and it's full of holes.

Fallon 01-09-2004 12:43 PM

For windows, I use Programmers/Professional File Editor. It opens every format I need. On linux, it's either vi or pico/nano.

manalone 01-09-2004 12:49 PM

gvim all round.

flamingpeach 01-09-2004 12:54 PM

Hal introduced me to Macromedia Homesite 5 and it works just dandy. It has everything i need.

I mostly use it for PHP, CSS and HTML and I'm in the midst of learning java.

rubicon 01-09-2004 12:59 PM

Dreamweaver MX or EditPad Pro.

ratbastid 01-09-2004 01:16 PM

I use nedit when I can, and vi when I have to.

I'm a total cripple with Emacs. The ONLY Emacs command I know is ctrl-c ctrl-x. Which, I guess if you have to know only one, is a pretty good one to know.

nedit rules.

SiN 01-09-2004 02:39 PM

on Windows - UltraEdit. :)

i'm not a 'programmer', so i just use it for HTML, CSS, and any basic text-related things. it's one of the progs i've always got open.

f00sion 01-09-2004 02:45 PM

JCreator is the best java IDE for windows environment hands down... I wish the company made a similar one for c++, it has so many nifty features.

Yes, Homesite is a very good program. I use it quite frequently with my web work. I used to use only textpad (and still do occasionally), but homesite is a wonderful program.

ni42 01-10-2004 01:17 AM

scite!
 
i could not live without scite. bult-in syntax checker for a plethora of languages. it also lets you run/compile the program and it captures all the output. for errors it indicates which line is the problem. it has a simple interface and low footprint. in short i love it.

http://www.scintilla.org/SciTE.html

dnd 01-10-2004 04:12 AM

EditPlus v2.x
i find it clean and simple and never crashes....handy with the long java and c++ programs currently being written with my dissertation...
:)

-Anders 01-10-2004 05:38 AM

SciTE for when I'm using x (Wich i rarely do if i have to edit anything), Joe for the console. If only it did syntax highlighting :( Sigh

Rawb 01-10-2004 09:06 AM

Emacs is my editor of choice, also use it to chat on IRC (comes up with a lovely little notification with what channels have what sort of new chatter).

I write a bit of PHP, a lot of SQL, and a ton in a custom hacked scripting language (hey, when you have 256k of RAM total on a device and want to do updates on the fly, this is what you do) and emacs works out beautifully, espically the builtin CVS integration. Your fingers just start chording the keys like it's nobodys business.

And as a free bonus, it's ugly as sin which makes it look like I'm doing more difficult programming than anybody else they have ever seen.

Marburg 01-10-2004 01:46 PM

SCite rocks for general text editing

Dev C++ will still be my favorite for C/C++

Boner 01-10-2004 02:37 PM

Visual SlickEdit on Windows, and vi on Unix.

SlickEdit has some great macro abilities and can recognize and color code many languages. It's also ridiculously configurable.

vi is everywhere, and once you get it down its a dream.

phukraut 01-10-2004 08:53 PM

for complicated work i use WinEdt. otherwise Notepad is fine.

Nooze2k 01-10-2004 09:25 PM

For any Linux work, I use VIM (great for C++ and java, although we supposedly switch to Borland stuff next semester, so I don't know how that will go since I haven't used it yet). For Windows stuff, I've switched to the new Visual Studio .Net 2003. They've finally fixed a ton of stuff that I absolutely hated with 2002, plus C++ finally has some much need ISO support, including MUCH better template support. All I can say is About Frickin' Time! hehe.... As for any Web dev, its all about Dreamweaver and PHP.... still experimenting with a good MySQL front end though, haven't found one that I've been really impressed by. Hopefully once the new version of MySQL is released it'll finally give MSSQL a run for its money.

zer010gic 01-12-2004 06:58 AM

I like useing BBedit on the Mac its powerfull and full featured while clean enough for quick changes to configs.

gibingus 01-14-2004 12:34 PM

dreamweaver and homesite (but less of homesite). i just got the new golive as part of the adobe cs, but haven't tried it yet.

Halx 01-15-2004 05:04 PM

Macromedia Homesite 5 is a staple on every windows system I use. I use nothing else.

If I'm on *nix, then I use pico. I still hate vi.

T.U.B. 01-15-2004 06:25 PM

despite all the MS schnizzles,
Visual Studio.NET is by far the most friendly and easiest enviroment i've developed in

n0b 01-15-2004 07:43 PM

Visual Studio for C++ and NetBeans for Java.

my issue w/ BBEdit is they got rid of BBEditLight. I'm too f'in broke to pay that much for a text editor.

oberon 01-15-2004 11:18 PM

When I had a Mac (about 7-8 years ago), I used BBEdit. I still have fond memories of my first days programming in C using BBEdit 4.5 (paid version). :)

Since about 1997, however, I've been strictly a vi-ish person. Preferably vim, but I can live with vi as well. Oh, for the following languages: C, C++, Perl, Python, PHP (obligatory HTML), assembly (various architectures, mainly MIPS and Motorola 68HC12), shell scripts (Bourne/POSIX & korn), ABEL & VHDL (hardware description languages). All of them are well supported by vim syntax highlighting. Go vim! :D

oberon 01-15-2004 11:20 PM

Relax, I think maybe you should have made a poll here. But then, there are a bazillion editors out there and it'd be impossible to cover them all. :)

juanvaldes 01-15-2004 11:28 PM

All we'd need for a proper flame war would be:

VI vs Emacs

:D

cheerios 01-15-2004 11:45 PM

VI!! :D
