21 of the Best Free Linux Text Editors (LinuxLinks)21 of the Best Free Linux Text Editors (LinuxLinks)Posted Aug 26, 2008 20:20 UTC (Tue) by jwb (guest, #15467)In reply to: 21 of the Best Free Linux Text Editors (LinuxLinks) by allesfresser Parent article: 21 of the Best Free Linux Text Editors (LinuxLinks)
My favorite editor was also left out: NEdit. It's awesome and I've been using it for 15 years.

'Me too'. I got used to it on Irix machines some time ago, now I can't stand any other X11-based editor. (For small administrative tasks in the terminal, I use whatever is available, but prefer nano.)
I do worry about its future; it uses Motif as its toolkit, which is on its way out.

nedit? Bah. I know one guy who's favourite editor is xedit. He is believed
sane.

Can also use lesstif (a Motif clone). Essentially, even if Motif disappears
or your system doesn't have Motif libraries, lesstif is still around so you should have no problems. I have a feeling someone may be GTK-ising it somewhere too.
nedit Posted Aug 27, 2008 1:00 UTC (Wed) by qg6te2 (guest, #52587) [Link] Nedit is (was?) great, though it has been showing its age for a while: the lack of support for anti-aliased fonts does grate the eye.

Nedit gets my vote, too.

Same here. I use NEdit and vim.
