shades of editor wars from ... decades ago ... e2 and e3 (a programming editor at IBM TJ Watson, never made it out the door as far as I remember, though OS2 had some build variant of it built in), was amazing. Pretty good by todays standards.
If I'm remote, no higher bandwidth link, I'll use vim, pico/nano, or vi. If there is a higher bandwidth connection, I've used nedit (wrote a thesis in an earlier version), and am largely switching to kate . I just could never grok emacs. I could get TeX and LaTeX, and many other arcane things. I just couldn't get my mind around emacs. Or vi for that matter. I am ok with it, but after 20+ years using it, I am *still* dangerous with it. I am thankful for the undo feature in vim. kate is the closest thing to a good editor I've used since e2. e2 just rocked. This was 1985-ish or so, and it still was good by todays standards. Never made it out the door though. -- Joseph Landman, Ph.D Founder and CEO Scalable Informatics Inc. email: land...@scalableinformatics.com web : http://scalableinformatics.com http://scalableinformatics.com/sicluster phone: +1 734 786 8423 x121 fax : +1 866 888 3112 cell : +1 734 612 4615 _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org sponsored by Penguin Computing To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
