I dont use GoldED..I dont think.. When I created a project I just clicked on test.c and a editor popped up..dont think its GoldED..
If you are using StormC3, then you are either using GoldED4, my product, or StormED. That is controlled by the icon tooltypes of the StormC shell. GoldED is included with StormC3 (if you have the commercial package, not the free version).

My limited experience with SAS/C makes it look like it will be a nightmare in the ease-of-use department
Actually, it is a great 68k compiler that will go very easy on your nerves. Virtually bug-free, Amiga-friendly, comprehensive documentation, fast (with gst files), good optimizer. In my benchmarks, the generated code usually beats gcc 2.95.3 and gcc 3. It has a source level debugger, a message browser and an options program. Nightmare in the ease-of-use department: nope. Understand how to write a makefile and the compiler will be a non-issue. Click on make, done. gcc can be much more of a diva during normal use. But for C++, AmigaOS4, MorphOS or AROS, you'll have to get friendly with gcc.
To those that have used them (StormC v3, v4, and GoldEd), which do you prefer?
StormC is an IDE with an editor, GoldED Studio AIX is an editor that tries to be an IDE. It depends on how you place priorities. If it's the IDE part, debugging, project handling or user interface wizard: StormC (or both). If it's the editor part, you might decide to get GoldED (or both). If it's the compilers, it's a split decision. GoldED supports a lot of compilers and the five contributed compilers on the CD for AmigaOS/MorphOS are up-to-date. StormC has good support for classic ppc targets, ie. WarpOS and PowerUP. Downloading a trial version might help with the decision.
