Text Editor of the Year

Vampirite · 02-03-2006, 10:07 AM

KWrite is good though, it uses syntax highlighting and everything, I do any scripting, programming, developing there.

Voted for nano. Next would be vi which is probably better, but for now I prefer the easy choice

VIM EATS EMACS ALIVE

EMACS: Eight (hundred) Megabytes And Constantly Swapping

I like mcedit most!

ee for CLI
Gedit for GUI

There is no text editor but vi, and kate is more than a text editor.

Haven't seen my faithful workhorse mentioned yet, so here is a vote for joe

gtparks · 02-05-2006, 05:06 PM

emacs: that is until the vi cops show up.

good that vi is at the top of the list - so we don't have to bother reading all the others....

tuxombie · 02-06-2006, 01:26 AM

Emacs, with the CTRL key bound, as someone said. But vi is still easier for quick editing.

Illissius · 02-06-2006, 09:53 AM

KWrite people: Kate is basically the same app with just a different frontend, so maybe you could vote for it as a substitute...

For me it is VIM for console, gedit for GNOME.

Hey just like Eclipse, this guy too works similarly on WiN and Linux.GR8

Does vi make you use a spell-checker?
