    Which is your favorite editor using for the development purpose? Which is ( all are) the striking feature in your favorite editor? Are font of using any plug-ins for Development Purpose? I'd like to code in Visual Studio IDE and feels the editor is comfortable for me. Some of my friends said that Eclipse is a better than Visual Studio Editor.

    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.

            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. :)

              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?

                      If it's just for simple editing then SciTE[^], otherwise VS2005.

                      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.

                            No, it's "just" an editor. You can of cause launch the compiler and linker and it will capture the warnings/errors. But most editors do that. It's main attraction (at least to me) is the analyzer part, I'm working on fairly large projects with 1000's of files and SourceInsight will show any symbols (i.e. a struct with all it's members) with no delay.

                                CodeWright mostly because I invested a lot of time programming it (and Brief before that) to behave properly before DevStudio was programmable. I never saw it worth the effort to make it bend to my will although I have played with it a little.

                                The evolution of the human genome is too important to be left to chance.
