Can u recommend a good programming editor in linux?

I heard people talk about emac, but i find it quite complicated to use.


Thanks,

there's plenty of tutorials on emacs, if you still want to give it a try. there's also vi or vim. you can view both sides of the vi/m emacs wars at this poll someone started:

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...hreadid=211196

and of course there's a million other editors out there. i personally use emacs, and for the things i use on it, i actually find vi harder. but that's just my opinion. but since you can easily try both, or the others, try them all and see which is the best. you'll find a lot of pro/con arguments for different editors in the link above.

KDevelop's well worth a look if you're after a full IDE

I use kate and vim

jEdit, Programmer's Text Editor is my favorite toy when working on a gui env...

You can try Magic C++.

i am using both vi/vim and emacs at the same time :-)
without X, you can still use them remotely.

How come? no one uses Anjuta ?

I don't have good opinion about Anjuta... I did try it once, on Mandrake 9.0 and I was not able to compile a simple 'Hello World' app generated by the wizard. It was too unstable... But maybe the developers did work on it and it's more stable now... I'm using KDevelop, it appears much more stable to me

These aren't the editors you're looking for. Move along to NEdit.

emacs !

I think you should maybe think about this question a little more, because there is an over-saturation of programming editors out there in my opinion. What you need to ask yourself is, what languages will I be programming in, and what are the features most important to me? Do you like a pretty gui interface, or do you want to be able to use it smoothly if you ever have to work on it remotely? Do you like using the mouse, or do you prefer that your fingers never really leave your keyboard unless you decide to surf around on linuxquestions.org.

I use emacs... why?
A. I don't like having to touch the mouse at all when programming
B. Per it's name, it has many macros available, and they have the great ones for the languages I do most of my programming in:
1. R (The GNU S)-- Using ESS (Emacs speaks statistics) right now, and I love it.
2. LaTeX -- Great formatting, and even the preview-latex comes in handy here and there
3. C and C++ -- The formatting is nice, but at this point in time, I know so many keyboard commands that it just doesn't make sense to use another editor.
4. HTML --- Depending on the level of work you're doing, emacs will totally do the trick.
5. Text editing of configuration files, well it recognizes shell scripting, etc. Again, an easy choice for me.
C. I'm a grad student in the Mathematical Sciences, which means I'm always working. Remote capabilities, and smoothness in their functionality over the net are a necessity for me.

Unless you're going to be some amazing hacker, which I hope you do become, and then you would probably prefer one of these great gui editors. I would say that you choose one of the two main editors, that have the capability of doing just about anything you want. emacs or vi (preferrably vim). Whenever you know there is a battle going on between two programs, then you know that they both have to be quite impressive.

Well it DOES need some configuration like any other program!

use Jcreator, the best Java IDE
