What editor for general use are you using?
 
hi guys,

i've been using ultraEdit for last pair of years, but lately i becoming tired because in my point of view they are converting it in a monster, over featuring, etc, this is common in mature applications where developers are forced to keep adding new features everytime.

So i just was wondering what editor for general use (not particular, for example for coding python i am using now Komodo). For loading huge text file, doing text work, deleting columns, etc

They are a miriad of editors out there and i've used many of them, from old Brief and qEdit (now semware) and my loved Boxer (for dos) to new editors as vEdit (very powerful but difficult to use), and other programming editors as multiEdit, ultraedit, emura editor, sublime.... Small ones as Notepad++, etc...

Also about emacs and vi ;), i've tried vi many times but never got well with it, emacs never tried it but i know many people "lives" in it.

Your opinion sirs?

Maybe anyone could put a poll here? The forum support it?

Some weeks ago I switched me too from ultraedit and I choose sublimetext (www.sublimetext.com/).

Multiplatform, with useful features like column edit etc.

If you are willing to try console-based editors, i suggest having a look at vim. Its as powerful as vi is, but easier to master than vi.

Other than that, i'd suggest to have a look at sublime aswell.

usually notepad++ , visual studio for c++ and sometime intelliJ for java (i DOnt usually code in java. recently started coding small applications)

Notepad++ ,Sublime text,Vim,Emac, SciTE text editor

Its up to you actually , there are plugin available if you need extra feature.

Sublime is very rich is plugin support.

SciTE is not everyone choice,give it try you might like it.

My absolute favourite is SlickEdit. Multi-platform and extremely configurable.

If you think UltraEdit has too many features, what's stopping you from using an older version? ;)

Notepad++ for typical stuff.
Visual Studio for programming.
Normal Windows notepad for quick notes while doing something.

After reading this thread, I decided to try sublime. Might be worth experimenting further. If you want to try it too, you might find the link useful:

Password is the name of a very good forum ;)

Small editor with mainly used features - Notepad2.
Also it is open source. So it is possible to customize it as you wish:)

i have bought 010 editor because iam using it on win,linux,osx and binary templates are great feature :)

hiew - for fast asm pathing
FlexHex - for bin editing (special copy formated arrays etc)
AkelPad or Notepad for fast remarks
PS
SlickEdit - 299$ OMG!!!
Sublime - slow

There is an advantage in being interested in reverse engineering ;)

thanks all for suggestions!

i've set up notepad++ for general use now, plugins are a plus, i often sort text files (erasing dupes) and use a lot column sort, column filling/erase, etc...

Sublime is (2 and 3?) is very powerful, but i've read they stopped supporting it (still it's enough for anyone)

also @vodoley, great discovery of FlexHex, i've been using hiew for YEARS, and other hex editors in windows for minor work (neo, winhex), i know of some hexeditors that support "User-defined Data Types" (records), but i've tested flexhex, and works perfect for me!

sometimes i miss my old Boxer for dos ;), oh, and Aurora!, anyone used Aurora for DOS?

thanks all!
