Ted was funny in the Blitz Basic IDE. I seem to recall it having some amusing macros.

List your favorite text editor for Classic Amigas (emulation is fine, too) here. I want to know what everyone is using, and why

I've used XDME for many years.

MEmacs, 'cause it came with the 1.3 Extras disk.

[Argo]

ED cause TEX was overkill for most tasks.

[Amiduffer]

AZ, the most retro looking text editor.

CygnusEd all the way. There is nothing better

CygnusEd all the way. There is nothing better

On AmigaOS4 I use CynusEd exclusively. On Windows I use a tiny editor that I wrote myself in Hollywood so it runs on Amiga too.
I prefer vi over emacs and like OED from A+L´s Amiga Oberon. I use a lot of editors and tend to use the shortcuts from the wrong one - causing maximum trouble.
For example CTRL-XS in VisualSlickEdit will kill the line the cursor is in and save.(Emacs will just save)
CMD-W will save in CygnusEd, but will close windows on all Mac software.

Another vote for MicroEmacs! Because it was free, fast even on a stock 68000, fit on your workbench floppy (no HD) and a ''tab' really was a '\t'...

Well... CygnusEd can be improved. I just finished the long overdue update #2 to CygnusEd Professional 5. I hope it will become available by next weekend

I've used CED a lot, but nowdays my favourite editor on the miggy is Annotate

One editor to rule them all, the NiceEditor (ne):

Like vim, started out on the Amiga, now can run on about anything, and on everything I use. The iMac I'm on right  now, the SGI, all linux flavors. The neat thing about it on the Amiga is you can log in over the serial port or telnet in and still have a 'graphical' gui, although character graphics The only editor I found that I can sit at the SGI and edit remotely on the Amiga while having working drop down menus.

It's inspired by TurboText, which is my number two pick. But ne has undo. I use ne for  the things others use vi(m) and emacs for, and I find it a LOT less painful.

Yes, there is See the FPL.readme file:

In addition to those, I've done an AROS port.

[vidarh]

Mine is FrexxEd (free, open source). Powerful right out of the box, and insanely configurable through it's script language FPL which is 99% C (if you know C, then you know FPL). If some feature you need or want is missing, just write it yourself in FPL. The possibilities are almost endless.

FrexxEd here too... I'm working on an AROS port. Actually, I spent weeks improving the AROS console.device/handler because it infuriated me when I started working on the AROS port of FrexxEd...  The changes I made for AROS should almost all make it easier to port to OS4 too (though I hear the 68k version runs fine on OS4).

After that I plan on starting to add a few new features, update the look slightly etc...
