GNU Emacs.

XEMACS. (Just to throw a little fuel on the fire ;-).


Is anyone using JED? (http://www.jedsoft.org/jed/) I'd been trying it
out at a PPOE, and was quite impressed, but I changed jobs shortly
thereafter.

Sort of like EMACS, but not quite so enormous and it uses something
called s-lang instead of something called elisp. It fits on a single
floppy.

S-lang resembles C more than it does lisp. The same author wrote the
slrn news reader.

Want to go back even farther?

How about a Friden Flexwriter and paper
tape. *No* editor. Make a mistake,
back up the tape and press rubout.

rubout!

There's a word I'd forgotten!

now those memory cells have just been refreshed.........

Thanks, Jim.

Epsilon since the mid-80s. (Just to throw more fuel on the fire)

An EMACS-style for Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, OS/2 and DOS.

Another group of people who've never used BRIEF and don't know wha
they're missing. And now this reply is on page 10 and no-one'll read it.

Mentioning that you use such-and-such an editor (that isn't Brief) is
complete waste of time. Do people somehow think that Brief users are no
aware that other editors exist?

Mentioning that your editor has a Brief emulation mode in some option
list somewhere is more useful but most of these emulations are rubbish an
intended more to lure Brief-users into buying the product that to provide
Brief-like editing experience. Unless you've a) used Brief a lot and b
think the emulation is faithful, then best not to mention it.

vi/emacs users - a Brief user is as unlikely to embrace either of you
editors as you are to embrace the other.

And finally, my useless contribution:
I love Brief and I tried to find a free Brief-emulating editor 2 year
ago. I found JED and KIT. JED was poor and KIT was OK, but I've jus
spent an hour trying to find a link to it and I can't, so maybe it doesn'
exist any more.

Probably somebody who thinks the 'web is the entire Internet,

which did you test - CRiSP, Visual SlickEdit, Epsilon (Lugaro),
Codewright?

"free" will be difficult. But who cares to spend some money for a tool
used every day over many years?

Why don't you tell where you found it?

don't really know Brief (already heard about it) but I can suggest a VERY
good AND free editor for Windows users :

I do believe these guys (embeddedrelated) are competing with google in an

There are many more nice free text editors, look at
