Hey coders, what editor do you use? - Page 2

notepad2 looks like it'll do the job nicely, simple and has what I want. A shortcut to it now resides in my 'send to' directory.

Ta.

I've been using PFE for the last 10 years (and you can tell it's not been maintained in all that time), but unfortunately it has a habit of crashing on Vista so I'll try some of the options above. Used Textpad a bit too but our IT bods are a bit hot on that one as it's commercial software, so I'd have to actually buy it.

Textpad tbh.

On the few occasions where I've needed one, I've used UltraEdit (as it was already on my laptop).

Don't use it much as it's a bit pointless for someone who only writes stuff in combined editor/compilers. Seems to be OK though, think it's commercial?

I used Textpad. It has line numbers and does checks like closing brackets and syntax checking, it's not overly powerful but really easy to ues.

Notepad++ supports all, and is probably the same as notepad2 i guess... It's what i use for everything

PSPad is another good one.

Same here, having some problems with Vista 64 at work though. Might look for something else.
