I love it, it's more friendly than BBEdit in my opinion. I've been a long-time HomeSite/Studio user as the company I was working with previously was PC-only, now I've gone to work with fellow Mac lovers and I'm free to use the OS of my choice, but migrating from HomeSite/Studio to BBEdit was painful - none of the things I've come to rely on were there. Jedit makes the transition much less painful - and for extensibility it seems much more capable an editor than HomeSite/Studio ever was (no offense, I LOVE HomeSite/Studio). The ability to add plugins is great - you can customize the editor to work comfortably with any language you want.
If you download the XML Plugin, and the FTP Plugin and mess around with the syntax coloring you'll think you're using Studio again. There's also a SQL Plugin to run SQL commands (you supply the JDBC drivers). There's a large community of folks writing BeanShells and Plugins for it as well, so most anything you could want in an editor it can do with little effort for the install. In fact, there's a feature to go to the web, find plugins and install them for you with only a couple clicks. Jedit is by far the nicest editor I've found for the Mac and it even rivals HomeSite/Studio for hand-coding. I'm less worried about HomeSite+ being dropped these days. Now if someone would only write a plugin for CF tag-insight I'd be in heaven ;) Joshua Miller [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: Dick Applebaum [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, September 05, 2002 1:42 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Dreamweaver MX opinions Gee, what a nice install... i clicked the download on the web site & the package was downloaded, expanded and all I hac was drag the Jedit folder to where I wanted it (Applications folder) Then double-click Jedit to start the program and open the help file (no fiddling with CLI commands, classpath, etc). One more click keeps it in the dock. It really looks good -- how does it compare with BBEdit? I particularly like the folding capability.
