What text editor is the best in your oppinon?

GoldEd was pretty good too, but I found it too slowloading ISTR

If you don't have requirements beyond normal editing (but want folding, undo, macro recording and high configurability), try microgolded. It starts in half a second on my UAE setup and instantly on MorphOS.

GoldED, which starts in a second, can be made to start instantly with the "Editor Resident?" menu: it will remain loaded/windowless after closing the last text. If you type "golded:ed ", the resident editor will become active again instantly. You can also activate it with the hotkey. It can be pre-loaded (without window) in s:user-startup. Another way to reduce startup time is to activate the image cache.

Btw, what does ISTR mean (probably not International Society for Third-Sector Research)?

I heard the author of GoldEd was prosecuted once upon a time because an earlier version formatted your RDB if it detected you were using a pirate keyfile.

I heard the author of GoldED once went back through time after he found out that his custom rendering code was faster than the speed of light. Kids, this is an important message from Dietmar: Don't drink Alcohol A note for software pirates: it's perferctly safe to steal GoldED, any version. No malicious code contained. But you know in your big, good hearts that stealing software is bad, don't you?
