I thought it could be interesting to see what everyone use when writing code and also see if there's better editors out there that I've missed.
Personally I first started out in the old DOS editor edit and then moved on to notepad. But as I use Visual Studio a lot too I've gotten used to syntax hi-lighting and all those other fancy things.
So I moved over to notepad++ and have been using it mainly for ASM and for platforms that isn't supported my MSVC (just about everything except Windows). But then one day when I was going to do some refactoring using regular expressions I noticed that the regexp support in notepad++ was crap, I've also been missing the ability to split windows in notepad++, something I find very useful when editing on multiple places in a file.
So I'm now looking for a better editor to replace notepad++.
I've been looking into emacs and it seems like a good option, except for it's millions of keyboard commands that I need to learn in order to do anything at all in the program. And also that it's recommended to learn lisp if you want to do any more advanced customizations on the editor. I have no problem learning lisp.. it's just that I've never had the time to learn lisp.
So what do you all use? And anyone got any recommendations for a good editor?
