notetab light

it fucking owns for all languages

[Rorschach]

vim, the best editor in the world, bar none.

UltraEdit.

It has color coding and everything.
But most of the time I just use HomeSite cause it's already opened. It has the same features as UE.

jedit

i thought notetab was for html though? i used to use it but i found i could type faster than finding the buttons

That's why I like vim. Some of commands are a bit arcane but once you've got it down you never have to take your hands off the keyboard, it's a really fast way to develop. Plus tons and tons of features, built in scripting, you can escape to the command line etc etc.

maybe i am thinking of something else, isnt notetab the one with the list of html tags down the left hand side that you click and it places them in your document?

yeah you can do that, but I close that tag window, just use it for php and html programming

Crimson Editor ( http://www.crimsoneditor.com ) is a nice lightweight editor -- kinda like a notepad with syntax coloring, tabbed windows, and FTP.

Ha... I'm a former emacs user gone wild... I luvs vim.

Vim with cream, or ultraedit, depending on if you have to work over ftp, if so use ultraedit.

I've been using Crimson Editor 3.60 Release (Freeware)

It uses tabs for more then one document open and it colors the code

[Scherfi]

nope.

TextPad 4 has been one of my longtime favorites. UltraEdit might be a big more robust, but TextPad is pretty close.

And there are tons of add-on's for just about any programming language, including PHP, perl, HTML, etc.. The add-on's basically just give you your most commonly used functions/tags/etc with one-click ease.
