The Best is the GTK verstion of the classic VI editor (latest VI 6.2 - uses GTK 2 on Linux) and there is also a Windows version.

It's the best and you don't have to pay for licenses.

Some of the most gifted people in the world are all three! Not that I'm claiming to be one, but yes I'm all three. :-D



I couldn't imagine writing code without context sensitive highlighting --

there are so many bugs that would be overlooked. - Huh? What's that? Context hightlighting? Like built-in colorful magic markers? Ehh. Bugs can NEVER go overlooked as long as PHP's parse-errors are always right there to rub it in that we fudged up... ;) I swear...all PHP error msgs should end with "....you loser!" :-D



And not being able to use M-g to goto aline number? (I use Emacs) I'd go

bonkers.
Notepad as well. ctrl+G -- only found out about that a year into PHP....dammit. coulda really used it when I was learning...beat the hell outta using the down arrow and counting in my head!


Hope ya don't think I'm tryin to poke fun Dan. I meant well ;) Quite frankly I dont think I'd ever learn an "editor", I've used Notepad so long, it's like an 85 year old man learning how to use a DVD player. ;)
