Don’t think that I’m saying I don’t like vi….. I just need a windows editor… and I really need to let go of vi…. Damn! I can’t believe I just typed that.

I’m not believing you even made this blog entry. Something other than vi ? Has the world already come to an end ? I must be dreaming.

Tim,

I tell you what… Bring me back as a Credera consultant and I’ll try/buy UltraEdit. I’ll even use UltraEdit to edit your beautiful spring xml config files.

If $50 is the “big bucks”, you need to ditch that sweatshop consulting gig and come back here
Ultraedit has a trial version. Give it a test drive. I’ve been using it now for eight years. Haven’t found anything else that comes close.

Tim… Just cuz you make the big bucks doesn’t mean you need to spend them on a friggin’ text editor. What does UE offer that the offer editors I’ve listed doesn’t offer? Plz answer me that.

Ultraedit FTW! You’re a professional software developer. Quit being cheap with the tools. Same applies to Eclipse vs IDEA

UltraEdit. Not free, but inexpensive. Great editor with plugins for many languages. And you can edit remote files - great for editing server configs.

Or, you can just switch to a Mac and used TextMate

Mark, you’re not gonna get me arguing vi over emacs. I like vi, and will leave it at that.
