Your Favorite Text-Editor..

Not entirely off topic:
Which is the best text-editor for Windows?
Are there any programs like Gold-ED?

Which is the best text-editor for Windows?

Personally, I like UltraEdit32.

Reminds me of CED in a lot of ways.  Newer versions are getting a little overly bloated in some areas, but it's still a great editor, with a lot of really useful features.

    For what it is worth I use Digital Quill, I wonder why it never caught on.  Invoatronics the company that distributed the older versions of Directory Opus had a text editor that I used for years but I dropped it when I saw Digital Quill at one of the Gateway Amiga shows in St. Louis.  For sometime I used vi for HP-Unix but that is practially it's own sect.   ;-) Anybody else try Digital Quill, I think Vaporware distributes it...

On Windows, my favourite text editor actually is MS Visual InterDev. Mainly because I mostly code HTML and ASP, but it has a lot of other nice features too.

Hi Hardboy,

Over the years, I tried out several text editors, but I always came back to CygnusEd.  By far, personally speaking, it's the best and fastest text editor on the Amiga, with enough options to keep me satisfied.  Although programming is limited to hands-on, so if you don't know your code, don't expect it to help.

Unfortunately, I don't think it's being worked on anymore.

For the Amiga: (in this order)
 - Eve
 - CygnusEd
 - BED
 - Ed
 - Memacs
 - GoldEd (too much like windows programs)

For the windoze thing:
 - TextPad for everything but html and Java
 - JBuilder for Java
 - HomeSite for html

...and TurboText!

On Windows I use the Visual Interdev editor for ASP/HTML, Visual Studio for C++, and TextPad for everything else. One of the reasons I bought TextPad was the nice clean user interface -- a lot of the other editors out there look like they were designed in the Win3.1 era...ick.

On the Amiga it's the StormC editor for C and EditPad for all the rest. Simple but they get the job done.

I swar by Textpad on Windows.  Love it.  Wish they made it for the Amiga.

As for the Amiga, hmmmm....  CygnusEd, the latest version seems to work fine with GFX cards.  But it needs work.  A lot of work.

vi? Ed?

I'd rather edit stuff directly on the hard drive with a magnetised pin.

There are so many to choose from, TTX, GED, CED (and on that-other-platform gedit or pico)...

@seehund
If you like Pico, you should try Nano.
It's basically a Pico clone, but with auto-indent and some other nice features.

I use and like GoldED5.  I use it mainly for HTML and GoldED does the
job nicely has no problems on CGX4 and has never crashed, ever.
Editpad does the job for editing s:startup-sequence etc :-P

*shivers* evil nasty horrible piece of rubbish!

I'd say VI also. don't know why, guess it was when i was trying to do some serious configuring on linux, had to learn it, damn it! Mine also has loads of colourization modes, Pascal, c/c++, crontab-files, bash-files, html, everything. I like it. Like it alot.
Once you understand that [Esc] makes you type commands, and [Insert] makes you insert text it's not that hard. Otherwise it can be a real bitch!
Crashcourse:
vi file2edit

[INSERT] to insert text. (once more and it replaces)
[ESC] followed by [w] writes the file
[ESC] [q] quits!

CygnusEd RULEZ!  :-D

I'm using GoldED 4 from StormC 3. Actually I bought GoldED 5 a fair while ago but haven't got around to installing it yet :-/
