RE: POLL: Programmers' Editor

new topic     » topic index » view thread      » older message » newer message 

For me, the most important features of a good (programmers') text editor 
are SPEED and STABILITY.
An editor has to start up fast, and react fast. Features like syntax 
coloring and auto-complete are nice, but more important is that when I 
hit a key, it immediately appears on the screen, and I don't have to 
wait half a second per key.
It also has to be very stable, because many programmers (including me) 
don't save their files every 10 minutes. If you're working on a program 
for about an hour and just before you were going to save it, the editor 
freezes, the average programmer could have a heart attack.

A nice feature would be project management.
