Favorite Text Editor, a revisit

(1/3) > >>

What's your favorite text editor and why?

It seems people tend to use different wildly different tools for different jobs, but most tend to break down between two camps: lean and quick vs. ultra kitchen sink. Confession: DonationCoder.com's kickass Text Editor Review was what first lured me to the site way back. So I'm just interested in where everyone is at with their text editor. I noticed Veign listed EmEditor as his fav on his blog.

quoted from here...

just to add my own favourite text-editors combo: Metapad & Notetab. I use metapad as a replacement for notepad but when i need heavy-duty editing tools, I bring out notetab. In fact, metapad has an in-built launcher to view the current document in another editor/browser/word-processor, etc... There is also a version of metapad that can view (not edit) a RTF file, very handy for a quick peek.

As for Notetab, basically it has tabbed interface, adequate text manipulation tools, it's own text macros and many others as explained on the web-site. I first downloaded it back in 1997 and have been stuck with it ever since... ;-)

I used to use notepad++ but after reading the review of it I changed to pspad. However I never really felt "confortable" with it so after about 2-3 months I'm back to notepad++

Hirudin:
I've been using Scite, I don't know if I tried any of the others though. Scite is free, uses tabs, highlights parenthesis, and does column selection.

Veign:
Mine is still EmEditor.
