Recommended Text Editors for Win32?

Posted by Cliff on from the vi-emacs-and-notepad.exe-are-not-valid-choices dept.

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?"

  1. Emacs forever! by vsync64 · · Score: 5, Insightful
    I use Emacs on *nix, Mac, and Windows. It works fine everywhere, which means 1 set of keybindings to remember, 1 macro language to learn, and 1 configuration to share between machines.

    One editor to rule them all, one editor to find them...
