I'm going to stick out like a dork I suppose but I prefer slickedit. It gives me all the stuff claimed as great for emacs AND all the stuff claimed great for IDEs. The only thing it doesn't give me is vims smallness but since I rarely exit the editor that doesn't effect my workflow.
- tseabrooks 15y agoI'm a huge fan of slickedit. I've switched to OS X in the last couple years and the crappiness of slickedit on OS X has me looking for a new editor.
- greggman 15y agoThey are privately testing the beta testing the native OSX version of Slickedit right now. They expect to have a public beta within a couple of weeks.
- ChuckMcM 15y agoI was a huge fan of slickedit as well. It was my main editor on Windows. My 'birth' editor was FINE (Fine Is Not Emacs) which was based on Finseth's thesis but wasn't as computationally heavy as Emacs on the DEC10. On CP/M I used Mince (Mince is not completely EMACS) and later Microemacs. When I got to Sun I learned vi. Left Sun, forced to use Windows and that was where VSE became my goto editor of choice. Then Netapp, mostly windows, some not, used VSE and vi. Then Google and used vim almost exclusively because it was the 'same' on my macbook and my workstation. Once I got a good port of VIM for windows I could have the same environment everywhere.
