Your favourite editor?


A[L]C

Recommended Posts

For PHP, and other procedural logic, as well as SQL, I like UltraEdit.

 

For html, I'm learning how to use dreamweaver, and I cna't believe I ever hand coded html before.

Yeah, VI, that's a good one. :lol:

 

Mattice, I didn't think you were old enough to like VI. Only old fogies like to use that.

I'll take that as a compliment ;)

How old do you think I am?

Well, I assumed in your mid twenties, judging my the photo to the left.

What a question:::

 

I use a combination of Homesite and Dreamweaver - belongs to what kind of changes you want to make......

 

I too, use these. And just love them. Even though I don't use Dreamweaver much anymore, except for ftp and site management. I do more hand coding than before.

Use Arachnophilia, the non-JAVA version for editing everything......old habits are hard to break........ :D

 

Hey, the author is a local guy. Go PNW'ers. I used that for a while too, but found it to be a tad bit buggie with certin OS's. Then I used HTML Kit for a while too. Then I bought the Dev kit by Macromedia and found it had Homesite and be using it ever since.

I fought the battle ... and almost won ... on a switch to UltraEdit ...

 

If it wasn't for a memory leak the code appears to have I would be way happier with it ...

 

And the little issue where if not open and last had 20 programs I was working on and I double click a php file it opens that one and loses the 20 ...

 

But hey ... it's handy ... pretty color codings and for the most part handles Global replaces and mass undo/redo features.

 

But I miss my NoteTab Pro *sniffle*

I'm hitting 31 this year.... that photo was made sept 2002.

:inlove: If only you were a woman :D

 

 

Because I ussually work directly on *nix servers or through SSH I prefer VI, it just seems the most natural choice.

Besides, what's more fun then escaping your replace sequences?

Yeah, I work on Unix servers (RS/6000s) al the time too, but I just cna remember all of the commands I need in VI. Esc, x, l, j, i, a and dd are about all I remember.

 

So when you SSH into your Unix box, do you use 'putty'?

It depends on exactly what I am doing, I switch between using editplus and ultraedit most of the time. The two of them have their strengths and weaknesses compared to one another, particularly in the find and replace sections. So rather than put up with it, I use whichever is best suited. Sometimes I tend to get in to a rut and use just the one, then I switch to the other. I have no idea why, just do.

 

If I am doing roughing in type code generation or generating templates, creating content management systems etc, I use DW Ultradev 4/Impakt/Nextensio. I have DWMX, but I have a HUGE backlog of client sites and there are some serious issues with bringing the code forward from Ultradev so I haven't bothered. It's almost time for a new box anyway, so I'll keep all the old sites and Ultradev 4 on the old machine, and move to DWMX on the new machine.

I really like editplus, theres something about ultra edit that gets up my nose, dont know what it is, my boss uses it however, so it makes for interesting discussions.

 

He also uses homesite, the only other program i use along side editplus is DWMX, its very nice, it finally feels more like a development area and less like a web page wizard :)

I am another UltraEdit user, along with PuTTY.

 

I used to use Dreamweaver and Homesite but after configuring UltraEdit, I uninstalled them and have not missed them a bit.

xemacs with php mode.

 

But just 'cuz I'm too lazy to learn a different text editor for every different type of text that I edit...

The web is like usenet, but the elephants are untrained.

For quick edits I use wordpad or notepad because they load fast. For searches and edits through many files I use Visual Studio/Visual C++ because they have a nice find in files feature and mostly because I have it and I'm used to it.

 

I used to avoid Microsoft, but somewhere I was working they had big poster of Bill Gatius of Borg saying "Resistance is futile, you will be assimilated". He was right, I was.:)

In olden times the men were made of iron and the ships were made of wood; now it's the other way around. :wink:

I have to chime in to give BBEdit another :thumbsup:. (Search->Differences is a lifesaver for some of these mods! :D)

 

But I also spend too much of my time at the *NIX command line (Mac OS X, Linux, & Solaris), so I guess I have to join the old fogie club. :roll: (How can you not love vi? :wink: )

 

When forced to work on Windows, I like TextPad and HTML-kit[/i]
