Good text/code editor

Name: Anonymous 2005-03-31 11:43

Hey
What's a good code/text editor? Something like notepad but that highlights html code, strings etc. And I don't want it to choke on big files like notepad does...

Agreed. I can use VI (never bothered to learn Emacs since VI worked and was widely available - all I needed for terminals), but I'd rather have a kick in the balls than edit code with it, when I can use something better.

VI and Emacs are just another terribly outdated, mediocre, quarter century old Unix tools. We've programmed better shit since. Get over it.

Truths

I don't get why some geeks insist on defending ancient tools just because they're ancient, or perhaps, just because they make them look geekier (which would be false geekdom, as true geeks don't need to do anything on purpose to look geek).

I'm not saying ancient stuff is bad. I'm still using Norton Commander-like file managers and you'd have to see how fast can I do anything with them (especially FAR). I don't like Explorer, Konqueror, or all that crap that's almost for kids. I don't find Explorer comfortable and quick enough with keyboards, just like I don't find VI comfortable and quick enough with keyboards.
