    I never really liked notepad much, its limitations where just too great. Before I found Crimson Editor and Notepad++, I would just use MS-Dos Edit(a.k.a QBasic).

    Yup, notepad has a lot of limitation. But since I'm not a programmer anymore, I don't find the need to use anything more than notepad.

    Really depends on what I'm doing.....for html I use Dreamweaver, for programming I use VB, for Java I use Eclipse, for writing bullshit like this I use anything that's in front of me :faint: :faint: :faint:

    Ahem.

    Vi or Vim?

    I trust you realize they're different and on many modern systems, vi is aliased to vim :)

    I for one can't stand using vi for longer than 10 minutes. But vim.. yes, even on my sweet little powerbook with all the fancy text editors, I still use vim almost every other day.

    TextMate's my other favourite.

    BTW: to replace win's notepad by notepad2, you have to use some kind of ninja's trick:

    Yeap me knows :mrgreen: i still think everyone should learn vi instead of those fancy text editors.

    I for one cant stand emacs, have no idea what how to use it. Although the key strokes are a lot like GNU screen

    Heh yeah, I love vi too, but I love vim better. emacs.. grr, just can't get used to Ctrl-blah Ctrl-blah all the time. Just to exit is Ctrl-X Ctrl-C and goodness knows what other complicated Ctrl-combos, wheras vi is simple :<something> for almost everything
