> Let alone one, whose sole purpose for us (U2) is to highlight code. Well a good program editor - like mvDeveloper (grin) or Doug's U2 Editor - does a lot more than just highlight.
It's about ease of navigation and assisting developers to work faster and more efficiently. Doug and I have taken different routes to that - Doug's editor is arguably more powerful, mine is arguably lighter - but where they both score over general editors is in understanding the code they are dealing with. That manifests in all kinds of ways. In mvDeveloper, for example, you can right click to open a called subroutine or include file, can jump to a label in a program, can quickly navigate a program by label (Ctl-U move to previous label, Ctl-D down to the next label), can comment in and out (even for PROC), can perform a quick conversion on an internal date and time, can edit associated multivalues in a grid, pull up keyword help .. In short, lots of things that are specific to the platform and to the people who use it.
