1. Editors
My own take is that ED is a wonderful example of the coding capabilties of
Euphoria, but not impressive as an editor. I downloaded and started using EE the
same day I downloaded Eu. I have recently switched to Edita and find it extremly
capable and easy to use. I've no doubt that several others metioned are excellent
choices, but my personal preference is for an editor written in Eu. Also I'm
quite impressed with Arwen which Edita uses. If someday it has an IDE comparable
to Win32Lib's, it will (deservedly) be extremely popular.

There is an IDE for wxEuphoria but it's a bit buggy (especially on Windows).
I use ed alot simply because it's guaranteed to be available on all platforms
immediately. Although, I have set it up as my default editor on my Linux machine
at work. At home I use ConTEXT as my editor of choice.

There is Tools/Window Painter, but at the moment you'll find it
crippled (sorry/"Window Painter Expired or Unlicenced",
"Modifications will NOT be saved.") You can still play with it a bit,
though, see what you think, it's different anyway. Actually, if you
(temp) set your system date back to 2005, it'll fool the date check.
The open source debate is not really up for discussion at this point,
I am working on something that I hope will grant the personal freedom
needed, but no-one hold their breath over that.
Question: of those that use Judith's IDE,
* how many do so out of principle (open source),
* how many actually have found they /needed/ it to be open source
(ie fixed a bug ontime/that Judith could not),
* how many just because it is free, and
* how many would pay if they had to?
(tick all that apply)
Regards,
Pete

If you are speaking about the editor, then I would disagree. The graphical
designer portion is pretty spotty. I haven't put nearly as much effort into
that. Frankly, I've been kind of hoping that some interested party would step
forward (not unlike how Judith took the IDE off of David's hands) and make
it work better.
I use the editor part of it pretty exclusively when I code Eu (or, indeed,
practically any text editing job). If you've found bugs there, I'd really
like to hear about them.

I haven't regularly used it for quite some time (I rarely use win32lib
at this point), at least directly, but I'll post my answers anyway..

Yes.

Back when I used, it, I can recall fixing some bugs, and changing some
things. It's rare that I'd use some OSS without somehow modifying it to
fit my needs. In fact, the editor of wxIDE is a wxEuphoria port of the
editor that's part of the win32lib IDE. If you take a look at the source,
there is still a fair amount of cruft left in from it's win32lib days.

Yep.

No.

I remember certain parts didn't work well or at all in Windows. For example,
hitting F1 or going to Help > Documentation fails on Windows if `home_path`
contains spaces. To fix it I changed line 1695 to wx_shell( "\"" & home_path &
"\\wxIDE.htm\"" ) and that seemed to fix it for XP at least. I'll look through my
copy to see what else I changed.

Hi John Paravantis,
Another great Editor is the GWD Text editor. It has support for
Euphoria text highlighting, and it also has a built in shell
execution plugin.

Hello Chris,
Thank you for pointing this out to us. I checked http://www.gwdsoft.com/ for
GWD and, yes, it looks interesting.
One important thing I would like to point out: while ConTEXT is freeware,
GWD is shareware (for a mere $29).
Regards
John

ULTRA-EDIT 8.0
Color synt
Proc/Func list
open file list
Tabfile supp
