Your question's made me realise something I completely wasn't aware of! In my many years of coding I always seem to have 2 separate editors open: one for coding and one for editing.
Currently at work, it's eclipse for Java development, and Textpad for all quick editing, regular expressions, mass find/replace across files, large files, etc.
- eob 16y agoThat's an interesting observation. Before going back to school, I worked at a place where Eclipse was the gospel. And Eclipse is a wonderful tool when you're a Java coder, but I often found myself doing exactly the same thing (except with TextMate for the mac) -- when I needed to hack up a file to make changes, I'd copy everything into TextMate, run a bunch of RegEx search and replace jobs, and then paste it back into Eclipse.
