Slashdot Mirror
Recommended Text Editors for Win32?
Dave asks: "I must us a Windows machine at work where I do web development and system administration. I have been looking for a "decent" editor to use on Windows, but thus far have come up short. GVim doesn't do it for me, on linux it's fine, but on Windows it isn't the most stable thing around. I've also tried Windows versions of MicroEmacs and Vile. What do other Slashdot users develop in when they must use a Windows machine?"
Notepad?

First I develop a migrane, then I use lots of tequila. Works every time.

you might get a little freaked out.
To quote:
"As I went to bed that night, I was praying about the situation, and I just felt like saying to God "If you give me 20 registrations tomorrow I will KNOW that I should quit my full time job, that it is your will". As soon as I said this, I was excited, I felt sure it was going to happen. I also prayed for forgiveness if I was wrong to ask - I don't like to try and make deals with God but really wanted his confirmation.
The next day came, I didn't mention this to my wife. This was between God and I, I would share it with my wife at the end of the day. Needless to say, I checked my e-mail looking for registrations, and I believe I had three in the morning - a good start. I was really excited that day, I called home a couple of times to see how the registrations were going - it was quiet!
I got home later that day and checked the mail - No registrations! I was disappointed. I checked the fax machine, there was an order for 10! I couldn't wait to log on and found additional registrations - a total of 21!!!
I am embarrassed to admit, at this point, being a technical person, I mentally noted that 21 was not 20 - I had asked for 20.
I shared this with my wife, and we just prayed and gave thanks to God, who really had answered our prayers - we knew now that this was the thing to do.
Later that evening, an additional registration came in - that made 22. As soon as I realized this, I remembered the night before - after asking God for 20 registrations, I had said to myself (I dare not say this to God - but He knows our every thought), I should have asked for 22 as it would be twice the number of the day before. Boy - did I know now that God was in control!!!"
BAH! You kids and your fancy editors.

What'dya mean there's no BLINK tag!?
I'm not saying it's a good thing, but Windows File Protection can be overriden in the registry, and the whole concept is to prevent people, by which I mean users, from trying to see the Secret Message from Bill Gates that only shows up if you del *.dll in C:\Windows.
Why is notepad a protected file? Hell, why is calc.exe a protected file? That's what I'd like to know.
