I remember being ‘caught’ developing for Metrowerks (anyone remember that?) using jEdit. They smirked.
I used jEdit to do all my coding (mostly C/C++ in those days) from the late 90s until finally going Jetbrains just a couple of years ago.
I still use it regularly when I just want to edit a file or use the jdiff plugin without starting a project and all the other speed bumps that IDEs put in your way.
- bellyfullofbac 5y agoUser since maybe mid 00's here, I still load it to use the rectangular select and multi-line cursor, and HyperSearch still beats grep because I can jump to all instances of a searched word and see the context before/after it (yeah grep has a flag for this, but who knows how many lines the context should be).
- willvarfar 5y agoYeap the rectangular select and multi-line cursor thing! And the find replace with new lines. And so much else that mainstream IDEs seem to still struggle with!
