Epsilon, from Lugaru, is the finest programmer's editor available. It has all the power of emacs, but the extension language is C (well, C-like) and 95% of the editor is written in the extension language and available to you. Further, questions to the author are generally answered the same day, if not within an hour. It's available for linux and Windows, with an older version available for DOS. -- #include <standard.disclaimer> _ Kevin D Quitt USA 91387-4454 96.37% of all statistics are made up

They are both highly and *easily* configurable and tunable. Gerhard

In addition to the usual arguments for vi ... 1. It doesn't rely on function keys or arrow keys or etc. to get the job done, so you can keep your fingers on the home row instead of all over the keyboard. 2. It doesn't rely on function keys or arrow keys or etc. so you can use it very easily over a serial terminal (when all else fails). 3. It has a powerful command and macro facility. 4. The core editor is small, so it will be found on pretty much any platform that has a C compiler. ... the latest generation adds syntax highlighting and "smarts" for languages ranging from Aap to yacc. It also allows (but does not require) staying edit mode and using the usual mouse and function key conventions. -- Rich Webb Norfolk, VA

There are lots of plugins too, although I haven't used too many of them. For screenshots see http://www.jedit.org/index.php?page=screenshots I use it mostly for writing c and html.

Maybe the easiest way of describing it is this: if you want your editor to do something, but find that there's no Emacs support for it at all (not even a third-party Elisp macro), take this as a hint that you're probably trying to do the wrong thing. -- Hans-Bernhard Broeker (broeker@physik.rwth-aachen.de) Even if all the snow were burnt, ashes would remain.
