I had a brief flirtation with THE (The Hessling Editor) when I was in college.
It was programmable in Rexx. I found it fascinating but ultimately moved on to Vim and Emacs as my daily drivers.
- BobLangill 5y agoI've been using THE (The Hessling Editor) steadily since 2012 for work and for personal projects. Its ability to incorporate Rexx makes it easy to customize the editor as well as facilitate use with other useful programs such as Freeplane, or launch and track Microsoft Office work. Vim and Emacs are part of standard toolsets in a wider base of organizations, so if you've bounced around, they would be more useful. Also, THE doesn't handle unicode very well, so that presents a decreasing window for application as unicode becomes more wide spread. Meanwhile, The Hessling Editor, continues to be downloaded from SourceForge and has active forums.
