Displaying 5 of 30 user comments. JEditby Anonymous on Sep 22, 2008I am very very picky when it comes to editors, but Jedit deserves it: IT IS JUST PERFECT. Here are my reasons to say that:
(1) Block selection
(2) SFTP plugin
(3) Speed (previous versions used to be sloooowww tough)
(4) Highly configurable highlighting
(5) Portability
I used editors provided by eclipse, netbeans, Xcode etc. and only Jedit provides *everything* I need in one package, although these editors might have one or two advantages over Jedit.
Tops for PHP/HTML/et al.by Anonymous on Oct 05, 2007Having used many an editor - most every one you can imagine - I can definitely attest to jEdit being tops by far! Usually I'm not a fan of applications written in Java, but jEdit pulls it off well. JEditby Anonymous on Oct 23, 2006I am pretty impressed with this editor!!! excellent......... JEdit is my editor of choiceby Anonymous on Jun 23, 2005The more I use JEdit the more I like it.
I have to work on everything from batch scripts to TCL/TK scripts and JEdit does it all and does it well.
As a Perforce admin and Configuration Manager I have yet to find a better editor that does what I need.
JEditby Anonymous on May 03, 2005So many features, but what is it? It's not really a text editor, it's not really an IDE... it's somewhere in between.
If I want a really good programming text editor, I'll use NEdit which has so many of the same features (plus some nice extras of its own) and is SOO much more light weight. (Check it out! Syntax hilighting, rectangular selections, great programmable macros, tabbed browsing, VERY FAST...)
If I want an IDE, I'll just use Eclipse or KDevelop. Sure, they're bulky, but they do everything and that's what I want in an IDE. They even do more than jEdit.
So, to be honest, I just don't see where jEdit fits in. The one plus I can give it is it's a nice editor that you can get used to that will work on pretty much any OS, so you don't have to worry about using a different program when you have to use a different computer. | |
