Re: PHP Editor - which to use?

The Best is the GTK verstion of the classic VI editor (latest VI 6.2 - uses GTK 2 on Linux) and there is also a Windows version. It's the best and you don't have to pay for licenses. http://www.vim.org/index.php Notepad - is very poor. you can not controle tabs spaces, see white space and syntax color. NukedWeb@aol.com wrote:

Some of the most gifted people in the world are all three! Not that I'm claiming to be one, but yes I'm all three. :-D

I couldn't imagine writing code without context sensitive highlighting --

there are so many bugs that would be overlooked. - Huh? What's that? Context hightlighting? Like built-in colorful magic markers? Ehh. Bugs can NEVER go overlooked as long as PHP's parse-errors are always right there to rub it in that we fudged up... ;) I swear...all PHP error msgs should end with "....you loser!" :-D

And not being able to use M-g to goto aline number? (I use Emacs) I'd go

bonkers. Notepad as well. ctrl+G -- only found out about that a year into PHP....dammit. coulda really used it when I was learning...beat the hell outta using the down arrow and counting in my head! Hope ya don't think I'm tryin to poke fun Dan. I meant well ;) Quite frankly I dont think I'd ever learn an "editor", I've used Notepad so long, it's like an 85 year old man learning how to use a DVD player. ;)
