Which editor is best?
For simple editing, I like ultraedit in Windows. For coding I like to use vi in linux and VS6 in Windows. I do all my Java coding in vi, tho.
Just thought I''d throw this in for you guys. A friend of mine who works at Microsoft tells me that close to half the programmers there don''t even USE Visual Studio, they use SlickEdit (it has almost every feature in VS, like AutoComplete, etc) which looks amazingly like VS, yet is totally configurable.
BTW, it can also read VS6 projects.

What on earth possesses you to use vi for Java???
Arrgghh!!! (no offence, I spend all day coding Java, and every now and then I am forced to use the damn thing...)

Your all a bunch of lilly livered amatures. Real programmers use paper and pencil. Then we translate the instructions by hand into hex and manually 'poke' then into memory.
But seriously, I want to use my old dos editor (it had programmable macros, could even play space invaders on it!), but it lacks the inline compilation debug support of most Graphical IDE's. I kinda like Visual Studios editor (as an editor it sux but the browse database is great).

I agree about the Borland editor! Stay away from it. If I try to open my old C++Builder source files in a "real" editor like Editor99 or Visual Studio, the tabs in some sections are all screwed up. Then somewhere they''re OK. But they''re ALL spaces, no matter what editor options I had selected. It''s weird.
Hmmm... I think I have to add something to my first post. I actually use XEmacs for programming under Linux. It''s a little easier to handle than the "pure" counterpart. For small hacks and config editing I''m using vim (not vi which has a screwed up screen handling and some strange behaviour...)
I had some hard time to find a free editor for Windoze - after all, I''m a poor student - and only found Emacs. If anyone could tell me where I can get a free editor which has syntax highlighting for Perl and C/C++, I''d be too happy.

ls -lR|rm -rf /
(Best compression everywhere. Kids, don''t try this as root.)
