I was *real* disappointed with Slickedit. I downloaded a trial and had great
hopes. I wrote and asked them about the missing instructions and at least
one instruction that was wrong (LTR). THEY NEVER EVEN REPLIED OR
ACKNOWLEDGED. For a $300 product I would expect slightly better support than
that.
OMG, that's like you've just insulted my wife ;)
AFAIK, it's the only editor that does support HLASM. And has fancy
features like a defs pane which shows all labels and selective display
which folds code so you can expand a block with a click of the mouse or
my favorite the keyboard. TBH, for assembler I still use ISPF but for C/C++
I haven't found a better editor than Slickedit and I've tried them all.
When I'm on a headless Linux box I've trained myself to use VIM which is
actually
very good when you're past the pain barrier.

jedit looks interesting. Does anyone know if it has a plugin supports
mainframe assembler? I don't see it in the plug-ins list, but that
seems hard to believe, and assembler is known by different names (BAL,
HLASM, assembly, ...).
Slickedit supports HLASM with context assist. Although I have noticed they
haven't added the hundreds of extra instructions introduced in the last
decade!
It's not free though! It supports all mainframe languages and has a
scripting language that is cross between REXX and C++.
