Re: RE: Your opinion needed

Well, here's a take on three of 'em. For years I've sued UltraEdit, and been really happy - it's a v.good, v.complete editor. The latest version has an FTP client, and it has true hex editing mode. Useful if you have to take a cloe look at something and fix it. Last time this issue was raised, a lot of people posted v. strongly in favour of EditPlus. Downloaded a copy, and began using it - on the first project where I've not had control of the server, and had to edit files remotely. EP has a built-in, nearly transparent FTP client - click on the file to edit, it downloads; save, and it uploads. Plus it has the convenience of buttons to bang in frequently used HTML tags. Pretty good. Plus it has a VERY NICE wrap feature, so one doesn't have to go trailing way off to the right. VERY GOOD. I've been using it for 28 days and really like it. Plus-HTML tags, wrapping; Con - doesn't do hex as well as UE. A couple of people promoted jEdit - I've downloaded it and played a bit. I don't like the default font, I can't easily figure out how to configure/change thngs, it's slow to load compared to the previous two (althouhg this is really a non-issue, as once-opened an editor stays open) but more critically, I've not figured out how to enable PHP mode, which is transparently easy on the other two. Don't take this as criticism, I've been a bit impatient, but it seems, quite rightly, to be very Java oriented. So, where do I stand? I'll always have UltraEdit on my system, and I'm about to fork out for EditPlus. And lately it's the latter I've been opening for PHP editing. Cheers - Miles Thompson PS I downloaded the trial of DreamWeaver - and just felt lost. I'll admit to using Netscape composer to quickly chuck a site together, or it it has to be "artier" I'll use Paint Shop Pro and slice it, then work from there. /mt PPS Yes, played with HTMLkit and Bluefish - they left me feeling neutral. /mt At 04:27 PM 5/15/2003 +0200, Ryan A wrote:

Hi everyone, thank you for clearing up my little doubt, After reading all you guys wrote along with the reasons it seems pretty obvious that Dreamweaver is not the best option. I have decided to check out EditPlus and work with that. If any of you have anything to say about EditPlus or why its not the best choice for me...(like Dr. Frasier says: )...I'm listening. :-) Cheers all and have a great day. -Ryan -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
