Can anyone recommend a text editor they are very hapy with (and why)? I'm tired of both Visual Studio and Metroworks CodeWarrior (for different reasons). Thanks, Dave.

It doesn't do all the clever stuff many other editors do, but works well, is fast, and is free. Leon

This is certainly the best editor you can find. I used both Visual Studio (with Visual Assist) and CodeWarrior - and Source Insight is MUCH MUCH better!!! look at www.sourceinsight.com

Any editor that doesn't have a good column mode isn't really suitable for coding. Other nice features are the insert row of incrementing/decrementing numbers (with/without leading zeros), Sum collumn, and easy conersion between DOS/Mac/Unix formats. I have been doing more and more Linux programming lately; does anyone know of a good text editor for linux that does collumns well?

Incredibly powerful. A bit of a learning curve but well worth it: http://www.vim.org Larry Gagnon

You can try it as long as you like, and the price is very reasonable. For windoze only, though, so if you want to become system independent you should look at emacs and vim. -- Some informative links: news:news.announce.newusers http://www.geocities.com/nnqweb/ http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html http://www.caliburn.nl/topposting.html http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html
