Does it know about VS2005 projects? What about being able to compile code and launch the debugger? Marc

Whatever editor I'm spending the most time using. In chronological order, those have included:

• IBM 29 keypunch[^] machine
• TECO[^], running under RT-11 on a DEC PDP-11
• EDT[^], running under VAX/VMS on a DEC VAX-11/780
• Microsoft QuickC
• Microsoft Visual C++ 1.52
• Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0
• Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2002
• Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003

This list doesn't include all of the editors I've used. I didn't include editors I've used that I disliked. Those included editors under IBM TSO, vi under UNIX, and Visual Age for C++ under OS/2.

They also had a windows 3.11 emulator in the early 90's worked quite well.

I think you're confusing an IDE with an editor. My fav IDE is VS, but you were asking for editors. I'm kind of a Scite evangelist at work. :)

Cheers, Vikram.

Editpad Pro is my favorite.

For just an editor my trusty stand by is "PFE". PFE Site[^]. Not support and you may have to search for an active download (at least the North American link is dead.) For an IDE it is Visual Studio (2003 for today).

Indeed. I was using it under a spectacularly wretched implementation of UNIX, which didn't help.

Even if it did, the UI looks horrible X|, not to mention the colour schemes in the screenshots.

If you're stuck in a rut: 1) Consult the documentation* 2) Google it 3) Ask a sensible question 4) Try an ancient ritualistic knowledge summoning (:badger::badger::badger:) dance :jig: 5) Phone :bob: * - If the documentation is MSDN > 6.0 then forget it!

Scite is great !!! I enjoyed a lot when I integrated in one of my applications. It's very flexible !! Marc Soleda

I really don't mind which editor I use so long as Visual Assist [^] integrates with it!! :) Yes I know that means I'm tied to using Visual Studio!!! But Visual Assist adds so much to the IDE that without it, other editors are left lagging well behind in the dark ages! When other IDEs get enough popularity that they support (or mimick) Visual Assist's functionality I may take a look, until then I'm stuck with VS2005 (despite its *numerous* flaws for C++ developers - but don't get me started on that one!).

Neville, I heard once about an author of some software (years back on unix) that had a constant 'job' scanning for discussions about his software, so he could 'join-in' the discussion and promote his tool... .. that's you isn't it? ;-) You almost always seem to be the first reply when this type of question is (fairly frequently) asked! ... or is it an automated response? Is that a documented feature of ED for Windows?

[Ray Hayes]

I used to be a big SciTE fan, now I use notepad++ as my simple editor -- which uses the same "core" editor, but many more bells and whistles.

I primarily use the Visual Studio IDE, however, outside of that, I use TextPad[^] It's very easy to configure Syntax highlighting for various languages (e.g., SQL, JavaScript, Etc...). It's fast and easy to set-up for various compilers (C++, Java, C#, Etc...). My two cents.

Finally someone voted TextPad, I was afraid I'd have to do it myself :^)
