Yes, I guess I should have weighted the volitility of my question :-). I will tell everyone right now that I have tried to use vi and I don't like it (please don't burn down my house). I was thinking about editors that did text highlighting and the like for program code without having to use an IDE. remember I am a programming newbie so be lienient if my terms or questions seem incorrect. Thank you. ----- Original Message ----- From: To: Sent: Thursday, August 24, 2000 11:33 AM Subject: Re: editors > Talk about a question to start a war :) ... > > use vi! :) > > hehe... it's great, once you get used to it :) > > Eric > > On Thu, Aug 24, 2000 at 11:24:33AM -0700, Joel Dudley wrote: > > Like I had previously stated to the PLUG, I am teaching myself programming. Currently I am using my favorite editor, Pico, to create my source code. Now Pico works great, but I was wondering if any of the code gnomes out there knew of any text editors that facilitated coding (I am doing java right now) better. I am not interested in any IDE's at the moment because I want my learning experience to be very raw, if that makes any sense.
