In the end it is may fault I wasn't more specific. Setedit is not a simple
text editor, but an IDE. Being initially designed for DJGPP, but can be used
in combination with a great variety of programming tools.
Almost anything is configurable in Setedit (menus, keyboard, screen
appearence, colors and many other things). There are other teatures like
syntax highlight, the abillity to parse the output generated by various
programming tools, sending you to the very right spot the error has occured,
the ability to use man and info pages, the documentation generator, the use of
macros, and many, many other things.
I use it extensively when working with GNU tools, instead of Emacs. I also use
it for creating documents using LaTeX. (i use macros bound to different
key-combinations to generate the LaTeX combinations for accented letters like
\u{a}, \^{a},\^{\i}, \c{s}, which is very handy.)
Speaking of bloat. Emacs takes more than 50 Megs on my system and I find it
more difficult to use than Setedit. Still Setedit can be used to accomplish
the majority of the tasks Emacs does. (The Emacs rpms take 15 megs of the Red
Hat CD, so I don't think that 1.3 megs show that Setedit was bloated, after
all :-))
