These are ones I've bookmarked
CRedit - was good, free, but now frozen.
http://www.praven3.com/credit/
ConTEXT - similar to CRedit, bit slightly less frozen.
http://fixedsys.com/context/
For Free and OpenSource editors, there are :
Programmers Nodepad, improving steadily...
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pnotepad/
Syn Text Editor
http://sourceforge.net/projects/syn
Quite good, but seems to have changed main
developer recently.
You'll need to check into the brief emulation.

Highly recommended.
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?).
I don't know how good they are, but there are a couple here:

Needless to say, if your definition is better than the one on
the UltraEdit website, you should share it with them so that
the next fellow doesn't have the same problem. |

29 replies and no one has mentioned the best editor of all!
Multi Edit, of course I think it even has a built in option for
Brief emulation (although why anyone would want that is
beyond me :)

Kedit and/or Kate as a replacement for brief? LOL
Noel

If the Kedit refered to is the one from Mansfiled software
(http://www.kedit.com ) then it might be. It is an extended version
of the IBM XEDIT editor using REXX as the macro language. THE (The
Hessling Editor) is an opensource version avalable on sourceforge.
Powerfull editor for working in a console. Native X version avialable
as well. (Uses XCurses library)

I use the "SEE" editor that came with the ancient "DeSmet C" compiler
for DOS. It allows me to edit without looking at the keyboard since
it makes little use of the Function Keys.

Since it hasn't been mentioned yet, I've found NEdit to be pretty nice and free:
www.nedit.org
For X-windows, not sure about windows.

I didn't liked it until I found VisualAssistX. VS6 in combination with
VAX is really great. It only lacks the colum mode from UltraEdit.

Use vi, the one true editor... ;-)

And, if forced to use Windows(TM), look to Lemmy for a well implemented
vi for that platform.

Yes - the column mode is extremely useful.
I've been using UltraEdit for years and I also highly recommend it.

Nope, there's is better -- mine was just thrown together to see what it |
could do, plus I'm a relative newbie to Verilog.

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. :)

No offence taken. I know editors are a very personal thing. I remember
nearly 25 years ago working on a microprocessor development system that had
a line based editor (worse than the old IBM edlin). It was OK once you got
used to it and I used it everyday for about six months. However, I also
remember the revelation when the first screen based editor appeared. After
that there was no way I would go back to a line based editor. I felt the
same when GUI editors appeared with their point and click interface and no
need to learn arcane key sequences.
I am sure that for people who do a lot of editing it is easy to become very
familiar (and productive) with a particular editor. For the casual editor
like me a minimal learning curve is essential. I only mentioned Kwrite,
which I would initially have put in the same class as Windows Write i.e
more a primitive word processor than an editor, because almost by chance I
started using it to write a Tcl/Tk programme. To my surprise it recognised
the keywords and highlighted the code as well as showing starting and
corresponding ending braces. With line numbering turned on it does me fine.

I' currently running Nedit on X and the olde Codewright
on Windows (pretty seldom).
For programming work, the syntax coloring has
saved plenty of debugging and compiler complaints.

I mentioned Kedit but in fact I really meant Kwrite - not a minimal word
editor but quite a good programmers editor. Has highlighting for very many
languages etc.
