I like Vim. It's free and flexible. I googled 'brief editor' and the
first link was http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=265 which
has a vim script that does 'Brief-like' binding and behavior.

Ah. My current favorite for the last 7 years and my only code editor for
that last 5. It is my favorite for extensibility.
www.vimoutliner.org is one small example.

For simple stuff I use Kedit or Kate.
Ian
Kedit and/or Kate as a replacement for brief? LOL

As I said, for simple stuff, certainly.

Just teasing. My opinion shouldn't count for much (on this subject) anyway.
I'm a Vim user. :)

I like Ultradit. I switched from PFE some years ago, and Ultraedit has
improved a lot since then. Despite the author's proselytizing
(speaking of "religious" issues).

The column mode saves a huge amount of time when adjusting indenting.
Highly recommended. |

I second Rich, of course; but if you want something GUI and free, try
Crimson Editor, http://www.crimsoneditor.com/ |

I switched from Brief to Epsilon (Lugaru Software payware) in the
late eighties (!), and have been a fan ever since. It's very emacs-
like OOTB, but you can set it up to emulate Brief (or just about any
other editor you like).

I have gotten very good use out of jedit (jedit.org). It has lots of
plugins and syntax highlighters and with an ant build file there is not
much you can't setup to build from within the editor.
I keep hearing things about eclipse, but everytime I have tried a new
version release I find it too confusing to use and configure. |

SlickEdit is fashionable now. Has Brief emulation.
Has versions that run on Windows, Unix, and other platforms.
Its nice that you can take it with you regardless of platform, most anyway.

For trivial code changes (on PCs or unixen): vi
For bigger changes on Unixen: emacs
For bigger changes on PCs: Visual Studio
I only recommend Visual Studio because my company provides an MSDN
subscription to all engineers - I wouldn't have tried it otherwise. For
windows development, it rocks. Some guys I work with actually edit
their unix code with it, too, because it's a great code editor.

One word... emacs. It exists for ALL platforms and will not be
abandoned like other products.
Or... have a look ar CRISP. It is a brief clone.
Cheers,

On the strength of the column mode promise I just downloaded it -- very |
nice. I spent about 45 minutes customizing it for Verilog and it looks
OK (any "real" Verilog syntax definitions out there?).
