What do all of you embedded systems guys use these days? Brief is no longer
cutting it for me due to the fact it can't handle long pathnames or PATH
environment variables under Windows, and I'd like something more modern with
Brief emulation capabilities (pay or free - doesn't matter). Codewright was
one of my favorites, but it's no longer being developed nor supported (and
it's buggy, unfortunately).
Any ideas/thoughts/suggestions? Thank you!

If you want the whole kit and caboodle with all bells
and whistles (and some learning threshold), consider
Emacs. There are versions for even Windowses.

I use XEmacs. I don't really like it, but it will be around forever, unlike
Brief and Codewright, and dozens of other abandonwares. |

Well, I think Ian, Rich and Tauno have summed it up: favorite editors is |
_definitely_ a religious issue. I've used Codewrite up to v6, and have
had people express satisfaction with Borlands v7 -- what's this about it
not being maintained?
PS: I'm currently using Programmer's File Editor, not because I like it
better, but because it's free.

I've been using UltraEdit and have been really happy with it. You can
configure almost everything about it and it works with large files.
supports all the usual syntax coloring and such (if you want it) and has
been extremely reliable. You can try it for free and registering it
costs $30US the last time I looked. WWW.ultraedit.com
Good Luck,

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.

www.slickedit.com Expensive but if you try the evaluation you will
probably buy it anyway. |

Didn't know this - http://www.codewright.com/ doesn't state this and
CodeWright 7.5 is still offered for 299USD at shop.borland.com.

Before I became Linux-only, I used PFE for all coding. Before that I swore
by CodeWright as well.
