Suggestions for Text Editor for Professional Use

autodeskguest
autodeskguest over 16 years ago

Hello everyone,

 

I figure some of you out there do some serious text editing.  And now that

EAGLE can use an external one, this is at least sort of relatively topical

image  Does anyone have one they would like to suggest?

 

I'm not interested in why vi is better or emacs will save your soul type

of flame wars.

 

Here are my criteria:

 

1)  Native binary for Windows and Mac (Linux is a bonus)

2)  Column editing

3)  Syntax highlighting for c, c++, verilog, vhdl, css, html

4)  Pretty/auto-formatting tool for languages above, preferably across

project at once.

5)  Built in diff tool would be great.

 

I don't mind paying for a tool if it works and there aren't any other

options.  Of course, less money is better.

 

I've been considering SlickEdit.  Is there someone out there who has used

it extensively and be willing to share their experience?

 

Cheers,

 

James.

    Multi-edit integrates with Beyond Compare for a comparison tool - there

    is not a better comparison tool out there. No matter what editor you

     

    although that's rather OT now, did you compare Beyond Compare to EC

    Merge or Araxis Merge?

     

    choose, I think you will want this to go along with it. Beyond Compare

    is available on windows and linux. Well worth the small price they

     

    But not for OS X - EC Merge and Araxis Merge (expensive) are available

    for OS X.
