folks,
in the ever on-going quest for an editor (other than bbedit), I have
now set my hands on "mi". You can find it here
http://www.asahi-net.or.jp/~gf6d-kmym/en/
It is free, amazingly fast (I opened some exceedingly large files in it
and it scrolled perfectly without breaking a sweat, syntax colored
fine, I could grab it and move it around on the screen and resize it
without any visual lag, etc.), of course, colors syntax in a variety of
files, manages groups of related files a la "project", can run and
output your perl script, syntax check, and a whole bunch of other
coding editor goodies.
Did I say it was free?
Try it out, and drop a line to the author to encourage him/her (well,
the author is Japanese, Daisuke Kamiyama, and I am not good with
Japanese names to determine more).
I like it.
