Hello.
What's the best free replacement for TSynEdit? As I can see, it is developed very slow. Want to find some replacement for it. Or, may be, the version from another maintainer.
Need Delphi 2010 compatibility.

I have never used SynEdit myself, but have always believed it to be the best free open-source advanced editor component for Delphi. Because it is open-source, you can yourself alter it to suit your needs.

Thanks, but it will take too much time.

SynEdit works fine under D2010. There's one notable bug involving the Enter key not working under certain conditions. A patch for it can be found about halfway down the page on this thread. Search for // GB: BUG FIXED
Aside from that, it should work. Are you having some specific issues with it?

Why there is no final version then? The developing of this component seem to be stopped. And if you stumble across some bug - there is none you can cry for help to ;)

You can try out Scintilla. As of version 2.x it supports "virtual space" (most important feature for me - after syntax highlighting) and has more features like CodeFolding, Annotations http://www.scintilla.org/ScintillaDoc.html#Annotations, MultipleSelections, and many more. AFAIK there is no wrapper for Delphi that is up-to-date and works with Unicode/D2009+. I've created a project at http://code.google.com/p/dscintilla/ which should be in 'beta stage' in a week (or so).
