So what editor do you use? Anything better than the default one, provided by VS 2005?

Editor of choice?

Ever since Visual Studio 2005 was released I haven't used anything else. And with the Express Editions it's no longer unreasonable to forget about all the rest.
I'm curious what people consider the "default" editor for Linux though. And I'm talking about graphical versions that take care of everything, not console crap that requires you to be l33t to get "Hello World" compiled.

I just use xemacs (with the key bindings set to "brief").
Too easy, Hanners.
VS05 spoils me to the point that, at times, I find that I need a light slapping.
The only real beef I have with previous editions is that "intellisense" will sometimes fail to function consistently, fail to prompt me with struct members or function arguments, usually at the very peak of an extremely rare episode of laziness or stupor.

I meant the Andy Hanley "Hanners", of course.Simon F said:But there are dozens of them by the look of it.
I use VS with visual assist and CUA keys almost exclusively now.
For a long time (10+ years) I used Codewright with brief keymappings. The reason I swapped was that it used to irritate me swapping between the debugger (VS03) key mappings and the editor key mappings. Since the debugger had crap (crippled) brief key mapping support I swapped to it with it's native key mappings.
It also made it easier to edit code at other peoples desks at work.

To be honest, I've yet to come across an IDE under Linux with an editor which matches emacs for the most basic of operations (specifically auto-indentation). I tried Eclipse, I tried Anjuta or whatever it's called ... they both have many nice features which emacs doesn't but really, they can't indent for toffee! Add on top of that that Eclipse is too slow (Java! ugh!) and Anjuta crashes every 20 minutes and it's back to the 'macs I go.
Are there other, more competent IDEs for Linux? I'd love to know. Eclipse seems to be where it's at with the big players.
Yeah, i used to find that hard to do. I would just tell them to email me, what they wanted me to look at. Couldnt stand other peoples settings.ERP said:

I have Visual Studio 6 Professional, Visual Studio 2003 Enterprise Architect and Visual Studio 2005 Professional installed at the moment. I did have '05 Team Suite installed under Vista, but never bothered installing it under XP.
The only bad thing about having a MSDN/VSTS subscription is that you need lots and lots and lots of spare HDD space
So, if it weren't obvious enough, I use the MS editors
I'm only a C++ graphics/game programmer, so I reckon I use less than 10% of the features that Visual Studio offers. I only recently found out you could reverse-engineer projects using a simple one-click menu a month or so ago!
A year or so back when I was working for IBM I made heavy use of Eclipse for Java development. I was forced to use abominations like JCreator at uni, and Eclipse completely eclipsed JCreator in all possible ways. Although, admittedly I've not tried the more recent versions of either, so that opinion might be a little stale.

Yeah, doesn't surprise me if worse exists - but I can only really comment based on the ones I've used. Of those, JCreator wasn't exactly my favouriteMordenkainen said:
A friend of mine was required to use NetBeans for his recent Java project. I could check the MSN logs, but I'm pretty confident theres at least 5 complaints for every bit of praise...

on editors
The down-side of losing integration with visual studio, if you're doing windows development, requires that your alternate editor be a LOT more powerful than the built-in editor - its not worth using a non-integrated editor for being just a little bit nicer or familiar.
I use emacs.
