RE: Code Editor

Notepad. No frills, but full control. I even use it for HTML. If I find myself stuck so badly that I need to see syntax coloring, I usually bang my head on the desk 3-4 times (your number of repetitions may vary) really hard.

And at times, I am guilty of using SynEdit to count lines for me...

I had to switch to wordpad since some of my html got too big. I just rub my eyes real heard for syntax highlighting. The keys were starting to leave real dents on my forehead. -- $you = new YOU; honk() if $you->love(perl)	[reply]

You might want to check out Notepad+ which is a drop-in replacement for Windows Notepad. It is very simple, suffers not from file size limits, allows multiple files, and some other simple but useful improvements. I like it because it easily fits on a floppy so I can bring a decent editor to other machines when I need to. Unfortunately, the author lost the source several years ago, and so nothing has happened since 1996, but it is solid and functional as is. I just wish it had a % command! I'm going to check out VIM again as it's been a long time...	[reply]
