For all those computer science majors out there, what editor do you use to write your programs in?  For c++, I use Turbopad, which is small, intuitive, and has a lot of useful features like syntax hilighting, brace matching, unlimited undo/redo, auto complete, and block/auto indenting.

Emacs, I guess. It's not my favorite editor in every way, but it's pretty good, and having it mostly built in Lisp is invaluable. However, it's still trying its damnedest to carry on Lisp's proud "outside world? What outside world?" tradition. I'd like to use Acme, but Slime sucked me back into Emacs, because I missed stuff like the debugger interface and automatic function parameter display. Now that I've got Plan 9's plumber working in Linux, maybe I'll give Acme another go.

And, to all you faggots who are shocked by the idea of keeping your source somewhere other than in flat text files, give Squeak a try. It's pretty cool, and I like the idea of no longer having to worry about which function should go where in my file. Just click the "new function" button and away you go!.
