What is your preferred Text Editor / IDE?

I'm in the process of 'learning' a new text editor and it struck me... what do other PcDmis users use? I use a few depending on the task...It's super helpful, makes life less of a pain especially when typing those really long variables.

I use these frequently:

Visual Studio (w/ emacs keyboard)
Notepad++ (has multi cursors!)
GNU Emacs
and of course regular old Notepad

  • Notepad++ is my favourite since a number of years. Mostly reading text files and searching for things, but also PC-DMIS Basic programming. Any other, real, programming happens in Delphi (Pascal) which is the best programming environment there is :-) The editor there knows all about the language and data structures, which gives it abilities far beyond what a simple text editor can do (almost automatic refactorings through the whole programming project, for example changing the name of the global variable "I" without disturbing any other letter "i" in the code, or local "I" variables).
