For those of us that like to use the graphical version of Vim or Emacs, instead of the console version, which version do you recommend? For Vim, there's Mac OS X Vim, MacVim, Vim-Cocoa. For Emacs, CarbonEmacs, XEmacs, and Aquamacs. Are there more? Which of these are ready for prime-time? If it's a tough call, what are the trade-offs? ...
I'm looking for a good editor for both HTML and CSS.

Let me preface this question by saying I use TextMate on Mac OSX for my text needs and I am in love with it. Anything comparable on the Linux platform? I'll mostly use it for coding python/ruby. Doing a google search yielded outdated answers. Edit: Since there has been some concern about the 'merit' of this question. I am about to ...
Any suggestions for a relatively simple, free, WYSIWYG, HTML editor? I have a friend in need of a art portfolio website and I want to her feet wet without forcing her to learn raw HTML or an overly complex (and probably expensive) program. Extra points if somehow this free editor is OSS UPDATE: sorry, still drinking my coffee Windows...
I get a lot of attention at work because I am the only one who bothered to change the default color settings in Visual Studio. I just modified them myself. I can provide the settings file if anyone cares to import it. Here's an example of how it looks. It reminds me of DOS/BASIC programming before I actually knew how to program. I al...

See KHexedit Requirements: Free is best View data at cursor as: byte, short, int, long, float, double (signed/unsiged where applicable) Configure the endiance for multi-byte decoding "Nice to have" features: Strin...
Since the keyboard is the interface we use to the computer, I've always thought touch typing should be something I should learn, but I've always been, well, lazy is the word. So, anyone recommend any good touch typing software? It's easy enough to google, but I'ld like to hear recommendations. ...
I'm trying out Git on Windows. I got to the point of trying "git commit" and I got this error: Terminal is dumb but no VISUAL nor EDITOR defined. Please supply the message using either -m or -F option. So I figured out I need to have an environment variable called EDITOR. No problem. I set it to point to Notepad. That worked, ...
I use emacs to edit my xml files (nxml-mode) and the files were generated by machine don't have any pretty formatting of the tags. I have searched for pretty printing the entire file with indentation and saving it, but wasn't able to find an automatic way. Is there a way? Or atleast some editor on linux which can do it. ...
Other than Notepad++, what text editor do you use to program in Windows? ...
Pretty much every other editor that isn't a vi descendant (vim, cream, vi-emu) seems to use the emacs shortcuts (ctrl+w to delete back a word and so on) ...

I've generally been doing stuff on Microsoft .Net out of college almost 2 years ago. I just started looking at Ruby on rails. So what editor should I use? I'm using Notepad++ right now but can I get debugging etc. somehow? ...
I've been using Eclipse with RDT (not RadRails) a lot lately, and I'm quite happy with it, but I'm wondering if you guys know any decent alternatives. I know NetBeans also supports Ruby these days, but I'm not sure what it has to offer over Eclipse. Please, list any features you think are brilliant or useful when suggesting an IDE, make...
I searched for this and found Maudite's question about text editors but they were all for Windows. As you have no doubt guessed, I am trying to find out if there are any text/code editors for the Mac besides what I know of. I'll edit my post to include editors listed. Free Textwrangler XCode and DashCode Mac Vim Smultron Aquamacs and...
I am looking for a text editor to be used in a web page. Where users can format the text and get a WYSIWYG experience. Doesn't need to be too fancy. But has to be easy to use and integrate into the page. Has to generate HTML as output. Support AJAX (one I checked works only with standard form submit) and has to be small in terms of downl...

I'm used to the vi(m) editor, and am using MS VisualStudio 2005 at work. I couldn't find a free vi add-in (there's one for the 2003 version :-( ). I've googled a bit, saw that there was a 'Google summer of code' project this year to write such an add-in, and am eagerly awaiting the result. I've also heard of ViEmu (not free, and I can't ...
