I have talked to Eric Fookes (NoteTabPro Creator) a few times about writing a Linux version. It is now possible........but that isn't going to happen for linux until he feels it can produce a viable income from it..... which at the current time he does not.
I don't blame him at all........ as far as free software goes, he has already given a great deal in Note Tab Light (for windows). A very nice fellow............ just wish he was more into Linux... :) I like BlueFish ........ just would like more features added (plus it has a tendancy to crash once in a while)..... but all in all it is a nice editor. I have looked at xEmacs...... but it isn't the most user friendly tool available...... same with vim / Gedit / and Kate ........ but like I said ...... BlueFish isn't bad....Quantra isn't too bad either and the others are probably fine editors if you wish to learn the keyboard shortcuts etc........( I just havent had tons of free time yet.) NoteTabPro and NoteTabLight have a "clip tool/editor" that is a great time saver.......... I code Html and Javascript and a small amount of perl by hand and love doing that........but sometimes repetitive code can be QUICKLY set up with the clip tool they have..... I will look into Xemacs more......... maybe if I read alot more about it........... ????????? :) I don't think making a program intuitive is an unreasonable request...... however I concede that what may be inuitive to one person may not be intuitive to another. The learning curve for some parts of LInux is steep...... yet some parts are easy..... I just need to get my feet wet with the editors more. ********* Nelson Bartley asked-------- "I've begun to develop an insterest in Linux programming and I was wondering what applications, you as the linux beginner, are looking for? Setup files, scripts, GUI programs, anything, as I'm interested in trying my hand at it." ******** I was giving him my honest answer........ the lack of an editor that performs the tasks I need is the ONLY thing keeping a windows partition on it........ I love Gimp/Gftp/Gqview/Opera ......... they are AS GOOD AS or BETTER than the windows counterparts..... and the last hurdle for me is the scanner and the Text/Html editor.
