While we're playing around with Editor Wars...
there's no need for that sort of language...
Boy,, there's nothing like a good old-fashioned editor war!
But this one doesn't seem to have much punch to it. More like a dust devil than a cyclone.
Visual Slick Edit v9 from http://www.slickedit.com/mac/ will run on OS X.
aaargh! that was horrible. 50MB download (50MB! Quark 3.3! one floppy! etc!), only runs under X11 (so you can't even paste in the extremely long temporary license key unless you save it somewhere and open it in an xterm). its interface reminds me of Windows 1.0 and it keeps offering to bind my java.
actually, to come back to the topic, it looks like it might be a pretty good IDE for compiled and linked projects but it doesn't seem to have anything to do with perl, nor much with os x either.
I have to admit, I'm more likely to download that now than I would have been just from Jeff's comments. An aaaargh! has to rate something. Won't be until I can afford panther (or tiger?) and some more RAM, though. That, or until I can find a proper download for the libraries for the old X11 beta. Couldn't find them last I looked.
Oh, and thanks for letting us know about TW going free, Chris. I've always liked BBEdit, myself, almost as much as the CodeWarrior editor. (Talk about twisted tastes.)
