IDEs, editors, and coding styles are things that a developer takes very personally. It is next to impossible to tell someone who likes their own tool or their own style that there is a better option.
Having said that, I'll tell you that TextPad is great! It's only about $25, and it does way more than you would expect for a quick, light editing environment. It has all the features and conveniences that most people would expect. It starts quickly, it's nimble, and it's easy to configure. The only thing I haven't figured out, is how to save more than one set of configurations (ie, hot key commands for compiling or running) when you work on more than one project at a time. It really needs a project file that saves that stuff based on the particular project. Most heavier IDEs will have this feature. > > -----Original Message----- > From: Andy Leung [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, January 29, 2002 7:22 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [JAVA3D] Just little statistics. > > Hi, I would like to know what editor you guys use to program in Java, > just curiousity: > 1.
