Rexx and Kedit

[Camel Pilot]

I still use Kedit, a win32 programmer's editor, that uses Rexx as the macro language and it rocks (both the editor and the macro environment). Even though Mansfield software has quit supporting Kedit about a decade ago it is still the best editor on the windows platform. I tried switching several times - first to Brief then to Codewright and then Slick edit but came back to Kedit because of if clean interface and performance.

I send mansfield an e-mail every so often requesting a Linux version or ask to open source the code but they just ignore me. Kedit would be a good replacement for vi on linux.

Any other Kedit fans out there? BTW not to be confused with the KDE based editor by the same name.

Yeah, except it's an exact copy of a Pigdog Journal article by yours truly.
