RE: [PHP] A powerful editor!
I personally use Visual SlickEdit as my primary editor for almost any coding work. But, it's commercial. Having said that, in light of this being a PHP list, another one to throw out there is Active State's Komodo (which doesn't run on the Mac, so stick with BBEdit there - which is a superb choice :) Komodo is kinda interesting. It runs on Linux and Windows. It is good for PHP, Perl, Python, and ok for a few others. It's in an early state, but it's usable, and not half bad. It does all your standard syntax highlighting and such. But, it also has PHP debugging, and on the fly syntax checking which is pretty cool. Also, I think it was the editor that had this slick thing (well, I thought so anyway) where it drew vertical lines down to delimit blocks of code. i.e. it would draw a line from the first character of the opening line of a block (e.g. a for statement), to the closing line (usually the closing brace). It was pretty subtle, it's not a big black line. Another cool idea is that the blocks of code are collapsible (some other editors have this too, maybe even SlickEdit, but I haven't tried it). Anyway, for a 1.0, Komodo is quite good. As for why I use Visual SlickEdit, there are many reasons (after I've evaluated more editors, IDE's, and so on than I ever have should spent so much time on). But, a few of the highlights, for my needs include: - runs on Windows and Linux and looks and works identically - Edits any kind of code, and specifically has syntax highlighting and other language specific features for all the languages I use (Java, C/C++, Perl, Python, PHP, XML, sh, SQL, XSLT, etc.) - Extremely configurable. And, can be configured on a file type basis, which was important to me (e.g. to change things like tab or indentation settings per file type) - Can use an FTP connection just like a disk (e.g. open files and save files via FTP, but where it's pretty seamless to you). - Wheelmouse works (don't laugh! I'm addicted to the damn scroll wheel!) - Code beautifier. This is super handy when I run across a chunk of code that does not fit the coding standards/styles I need to use. I can just select it, and quickly run the beautifier (for which you can set up an unlimited number of styles for any needs you have, different styles for the same file/language types, different styles say if you have different coding standards at each company you work for (e.g. great for contractors/consultants). - And this email is already getting too long, and I'm furthering a potential religious debate on editors (hey, I don't use Emacs, and I only use vi/vim for quick stuff, so maybe we can avoid that debate ;) Anyway, it was well worth the money I spent on it... -Original Message- From: Michael A.

I'm sure he meant that he prefers the default colors in editplus to the ones in textpad. since most people probably never get around to changing the default colors, I guess it makes a difference. For me tho, the main advantage editplus has is that it lets you edit remote files (last time I looked at textpad, it didn't), if only it used sftp I would be completely sold. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: [PHP] A powerful editor!
For me is the ease of use. I have them both, but find it a bit "wooden" and unpleasant in use. Edit Plus feels more friendly to me. But that is my personal opinion.
