Editors are like hammers - once you get used to one, well that's what you
use because you know how it behaves. For a Windows environment I'll endorse
jeremy's recommendation of Ultraedit -- my hammer of choice. It offers some
neat features: tons of macros and word files for various languages,
multiple windows into same document, an easily used column mode that just
great for picking a list of fields from one file and inserting into another.
Need hex? Click on the "H" button on the toolbar.
Need wordwrapping? There's a wrap button, and wraps can be soft or hard.
Need to change formatting between DOS and Unix/MAC? Click of a button.
For Linx, etc.? I don't have a hammer yet. I feel obligated to use VIM, but
I cut my teeth on WordStar for CP/M so Joe is comfortable, but I'm leaning
towards Jed. I find VIM very arcane, but if it's your hammer of choice, go
for it.
And if you have the horsepower, in the Linux GUI there's Bluefish -- looks
quite nice.
Finally, don't forget AMAYA, but you won't find and PHP add-ons.
Now, can we pick one and get back to work?
Cheers - Miles
PS I really liked yesterday's comment that " Real Programmers cat
/dev/audio > myprog and hiss machine code into the mic". Kewl!! //mt
