I realize I could be initiating a religious war here, but I'm at my wits end. I've been working in Ruby lately, which has been going really well, but I'm having trouble finding an editor that fits me needs (or wants, I guess).
Here's what I'm looking for:
Syntax Highlighting Line Numbers File Browser that automatically updates with file system changes while the program is running Some Code Completion (not neccessary, but nice)
It seems like these are easy requests, but it's the file browser that keeps killing off editors. I've tried both the EMACS and VI Rudy plugins and found both to be lacking. Not to mention the extremely unintuitive nature of both editors (to my mind at least).
Damn. I can't resist :)
Even though I am a die hard VIM user and have been using it for coding for a long time I will not argue that it's intuitive by any means :)
Ehhh, once you figure out that <INSERT> mode lets you do just about anything, and figure out the use of :w and :q, vi isn't that scary. :)
