Re: Komodo seems unpopular here

When coding on Windows systems I either use Crimson. It fits the way I think about projects and code. A few of the other proggers in my shop have started using it, too.

For those with the need, Programmers Notepad offers similar functionality (for the same price -- $0) as well as hex editing.

When on my Linux boxen, I use Kate. Long story short, I did not know what a decent text editor was until I started using Linux (I used to create websites using Windows Notepad...). I started playing around with Kate's functionality and immediately started looking for comparable Windows editors. If you use Kate, Crimson should feel natural.

The trick is finding the tools that work best for you. I tend to use IDE's (MS Studio .NET for C#, or even Macromedia's Ultradev for HTML) for creating the UI, then polishing off the code using Crimson/Kate. My partner uses Studio from start to finish. As long as the we're developing code that works on schedule, we're both right.

If Komodo is working for you, then all is groovy.
