TextPad, vbsEdit, UltraEdit, SciTE, XmlCopyEditor, EditPlus, emacs. I never do anything with vi except munge conf files. For actual "projects" I use VS and NetBeans. When I get on a "back to basics" kick, I re-enter emacs. It used to be a joke about emacs not being an editor but an operating system. There is nothing on the linux side that even comes close, IMO. I don't like GUI-based stuff, though, so right off, any editor built on the assumption that I'm a mouse-oriented user is right out. Thanks. mp _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
