What's the best programming editor?

[onlineapps]

I love Notepad++, but it doesn't work for Linux. I could use Wine, but it's SO slow. Even on 1 GB of RAM. Anyway, I want a replacement (primarily for XML, CSS and HTML, but I may do some C as well). Any good editors out there?

Oh yeah, and I already tried Kate.

I have to admit that I'm using Bluefish, even for "Bashing" and C coding.

Re: What's the best programming editor?

I use Eric3 for python + HTML + CSS (django) coding. I'm in love with it .

It's quite heavier than notepad or kat, but lighter than eclipse.It has the more important features for me like a left window with a file tree, with HTML and Python files in different tabs, word completion both from the file or from the python api, built-in grep, project management, calltips, ...

Quanta Plus is a massively featured web languages editor (HTML, PHP, CSS etc). It does all sorts of wondrous things like autocompletion and real-time previews.

For C/C++, there's KDevelop, which seems pretty good; or of course there's Eclipse.

Re: What's the best programming editor?

'Which editor' threads are age-old and holly-war-like so therefore I must suggest: emacs

I have used emacs for over a decade now and wouldn't use anything else on either *nix or MS.

I would however recommend: Jedit as one to try out.

I use Kate. It's even better if you add the plug-ins.
Once you install the plugins edit the preferences to enable them.

Hmm, never thought of using plugins. I'll try that.

Then I'll just have to say vi/vim

For a gui editor, IMO kate (with plugins) is a very capable editor

Re: What's the best programming editor?

For C++, I've heard the best IDE is Kdevelop
For Java, I've heard Eclipse and Java Beans are the two preferred IDEs (Personally, I use Eclipse).

Re: What's the best programming editor?

For C and C++, I use Emacs because it works like an IDE in that you can compile and run your program within Emacs and change lines on the fly. For HTML and CSS, I use KATE. I think that an editor getting support from both Vi and Emacs partisans (KATE) deserves at least a look.
