NEdit was perfect when I was transitioning from Windows to Linux in the late 90s early 2000s. It was even in Slackware.
Also, I miss the large clear, 16/256 color icons from the win 3.0 and 1990's unix era.
- chris_j 3y agoNEdit was my main editor for a few years after I started using UNIX in the late 90s but couldn't get the hang of vi and emacs. I have fond memories of using it and I'm pretty sad that it was so tied to Motif that it never developed further. I used it on Solaris, HP-UX, AIX and even Windows (via Cygwin). I kind of miss using an editor so uncomplicated.
- nequo 3y agoWouldn't gedit do this today? It looks like gedit works on Windows too: https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Gedit#Installation https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Gedit#Installation
- chris_j 3y agoMany thanks. I did use gedit for a while, though I confess I never became as fond of it as I had been of NEdit. It does tick the "uncomplicated text editor" box though.
