    Gerrrraway! I use vi and I'm not a man.
    😃

      pico on *nix, 'cos I'm lazy; on Windows I use HTML-Kit for my more web-oriented programming, including PHP.

        I use pico in Unix, unless no one's installed it, then I use vi.

        In windows I play Battlezone, Quake II, and The Sims.

        I've thought about trying some of the newer code highlighting editors, but haven't really had a compelling reason to replace pico.

        did you know that if you run pico with a -b switch you can do multiple search and replace?, and -m makes the mouse interactive? and -w will let you have long lines that don't autowrap? just alias it so you don't have to enter them all the time and you're set for having a nice little editor.

          Similar, but only with my officemates. Sometimes, we've got to work, though 🙁.

          Dontcha hate it when everyone else in the office uses Windows so you've gotta use Windows? At least the office servers are Linux.

            Yup.

            Way back at my last real job everybody used Windoze, 'cept for me, who opted for Linux. Then one day an NT machine was dropped on my desk, and I was ordered to use it. Fortunately, there were no demands made that the Linux box go, and I continued to use it for 98% percent of my tasks. And I did cringe intensely whenever I did have to use that NT machine...

            On the server side, we had a cluster-f*ck of QNX, WindowsNT, Solaris and Linux. Funny how QNX, Solaris, and Linux all 'played quite nicely' together, yet when certain 'integration issues' arose when trying to bring NT into the picture the MicroShaft manual seemed to insist that the problem was on the 'other machine'.

              My favorite is Textpad. It does everything you can think of, really. It has millions of those small features, syntax highlites, multiple file search (supports regular expressions), easy indenting, can have multiple file open and alerts you when someone else has updated the file you're working on (which can be VERY useful when working with others on a network). On linux I use vim.

                Notepad when I am using windows (that is the only one I got installed that won't do anything screwey) and emacs when I am using Linux.

                  I like ConTEXT. It's freeware and can be had at...

                  http://www.fixedsys.com/context/

                  ConTEXT recognizes and highlights many types of source files including PHP, HTML, Perl, C++, etc...etc. One of the main things I like about it is that you can find and replace on a bunch of files at the same time. Has made making minor changes to a bunch of HTML files a breeze.

                      ack dreamweaver stinks 🙂 i only use it for the quick reference when i forget little css/html codes/attribs

                      i like their gui(i guess i can call it that) though..

                        I prefer notepad or wordpad, there simple to use. LOL

                          Y'all should try VIM 6.1 for Windows. It's way to cool and so damn easy to use (once you got the hang of it).

                          I used to curse VI when I started using it in Unix but it's a compulsary requirement in my previous employment to be VI masters, so I don't have a choice but to use it. And through the years of using VI, the time and effort I've spent learning it (which is about a week) is more than worth it. I can do tasks using it with only a few key press which can be very tedious in other text editors and I can do so many things with it that is impossible to do in other text editors or even WYSIWYG applications.

                          Get rid of the thinking that VI's too complicated, it's easier to use once you've got the hang of it.
