I used to work with someone whose editor of choice was Epsilon[0]. I've never seen or heard it mentioned anywhere, it never figures in any discussions on technical forums/sites I frequent, but it appears to have a bit of a cult following.
Also, it definitely has the best mascot[1]

- redis_mlc 6y agoBrief (by Underware) was "the shit" (awesome) back in the 80s. Even borderless (no chrome). One of the very useful features was that it had a multiple resolution selection feature. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brief_(text_editor) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brief_(text_editor) (It's mentioned in the article - yay.) But I use vim/neovim if I'm on a Windows box today. Hasn't happened yet in 2020, though.
- rhabarba 6y agoEpsilon seems to be a GUI editor?
- rhabarba 6y agoI stand corrected: It seems to have both versions included. Still, 250 US$ seem to be obscene.
- petepete 6y agoYeah, it's a hefty price tag. The programmer in question (super experienced Perl-slinger) had been using it so long he knew just about every command and trick, and he'd customised his set up so much he'd locked himself in! Edit: an excerpt from the website that indicates its age > Why not settle for the "free" editor that comes with your compiler, or some lesser programmer's editor, or even try to use a word processor to edit your programs?
- rhabarba 6y agoMust be a Perl thing - even Epsilon’s website is a cgi one.
