Text Editor of the Year - Page 5

Why isn't KEdit on this list? That's mainly what I use because of it's simplicity and speed. For a simple text editor, I don't need a lot of functionality.

Sorry for the double. Forum said something like "invalid thread".

vim and gvim

.. because emacs is like marriage.. it seems like a great idea at first but in the long run its just a way of slowly torturing yourself to death.

Someone slap the guy who voted for kwrite :P

You should give Bluefish a shot - very very good IMHO.

for cli= vi/vim or nano if required (like in the gentoo handbook)
for gui= gvim/gedit

I always just use VIM.

KWrite? Good enough for me.

Ichido · 02-02-2006, 04:39 PM

Why is KWrite missing?

Since switching to Gnome after a couple of years using KDE i find the only program that i have to have from KDE is the brilliant Kate. As a hobbyist programmer who doesn't want all the stuff in Kdevelop (would use Anjuta if i needed to), i find Kate to be the best text editor for writing code.
