I used EdWord on the classic. Oh, how I loved that editor. It came with a personality, you know? ;-)
It did have the odd bug or two even in the final version, and development stopped a few years ago, unfortunately.
(Though I live by the old saying "save often, save early," so it worked okay for me anyway)
When I got my A1 a year ago, I was stuck with KEdit (KDE/Linux) for a bit more than half a year, for obvious reasons. It did get the job done, but wasn't capable of doing much more than what I absolutely required of it. (I.e. push key, have letter appear on screen.) Though I wasn't much of a fan of the other offerings available either, so I stuck with it for the time being.
Once I started running OS4 I quickly realized that I would need something a bit fresher, and started looking around for an alternative, I quickly came across Micro GoldEd, which is a really decent utility well worth the few pennies it costs to register.
Though do note that I'm not a developer, I just use it for simple text editing, and for that it's really excellent. Highly configurable, and starts behaving just like you want it to after an hour or two of customizing the keyboard layout and the other settings.
It's a 68k application, so it should run very well on all Amiga systems. At least it works here under OS4-pre, and it apparently works very nicely on MOS as well from what I hear.
For developers, the full version seems to offer quite a bit more useful stuff, something that I as a mere "push key - have letter appear on screen" type of user have no real need for. ;-)
I do believe that both versions are available as trial downloads on the author's site though,
here.
I don't know if they're "the best," but the Micro version sure as heck works like a charm for me, so I don't see any need to spend loads of time looking for other alternatives. It's in the very least very good.
