I wouldn't want a text editor. I'd want an IDE.

debugging - runtime control, watches, breakpoints, call stack, etc
syntax highlighting
project level intelligence (Ctrl+Click on usage of a function,
variable, class, etc takes you to the definition, as ONE example)
phpdoc, javadoc, etc auto-completion and referencing
function/parameter hinting
integration with Git
task list generated from customizable keyword comments like TODO
multiple coding languages (PHP, CSS, Javascript, HTML, SQL, etc, etc)
find and replace within selection, file, files, directories, etc.
(with regex too)
FAST (unlike Dreambeaver)

Netbeans and Eclipse have all/many of these features.

I started out with Notepad++. It's a text editor trying really really
hard to be an IDE.

I mostly use Netbeans. But in the future I will primarily use Eclipse
as I do more work in Java, Android, and Python.

Love the IDE for projects. Never going back.

I still use Notepad++ for editing config files.

Configurable syntax highlight, autoindent and autocomplete.

Yes, this is entirely valid IMO. I still have my ultrix vi summary card for 
such occasions.

^^This.

This is my hugest complaint about using Google Docs. I seem to suffer
from lag a lot, despite having a high speed cable connection. Concerns
about losing work, losing control, losing access, etc.

I don't think I'd like it very much if didn't have the possibility of
working on code and text files while I was not connected to a network.

I agree with you for the most part. I used to use Nano for this reason,
which tends to be available on any given system. But sometimes Nano
isn't available and/or is difficult to find/install. It offers very
little flexibility and, as far as I know, no capability to do add-ons.
It also doesn't do syntax highlighting, as far as I know.

I resisted Emacs because I'd have arthritis in short order from having
to deal with the plethora of control and alt keystrokes which don't make
mnemonic sense to me. Plus, it can be a massive.

Eventually I switched to Vim (counter-intuitively) because 1) there's no
*unix variant on which it's not available; 2) at some point, you're
probably going to *have* to know how to operate Vi if you move around
among foreign machines and networks; 3) there are many other
applications which use many of the same keystroke patterns which are
fundamental to Vi; 4) most keystroke combinations do not require leaving
the home row, etc.; 5) Vi easily does syntax hilighting and a variety of
other things, depending on add-ons.

The "modal" model of Vi/Vim is sometimes a pain in the ass. And yes, it
can take a long time to know all the features of Vim. But there are a
number of things I can do faster in Vim, than anyone else can do in
other editors, with less effort.

No attempt here to dissuade Emacers or others. Whatever floats your boat
and you're happy with, continue using. Why should you or I care what
someone else uses for an editor?

BTW, my big beef with "online" editors is latency, and it's a *huge*
problem, as far as I'm concerned. Ultimately this is why I wrote blog
software for myself which requires you to compose and edit your posts
locally, and then *upload* them to the blog. That, and the silly idea
that one should store huge masses of text in relation databases; large
masses of text should be stored as what they are-- flat files.

Thanks Tim.

That is some very useful feedback.

Don't know if I'll be successful or not, but nice to know people value

Re: [PHP] What would you like to see in most in a text editor?

[Alex Nikitin]

+1 on terminal.

For gui-based ones, i like to be able to syntax check my code and run it
from within the editor window, tabs for dozens of files i usually have open
at once, highlight that supports many languages as i can be working on many
at once (php, css, js, ruby, python, C, lua, sql, for the ones i have open
in geany atm), shortcuts are essential for things like find or replace in a
selected area or what have you, regex support in search, and something that
can be themed with white on black.

For web-based ones, i never want to have to physically press anything to
save my work, and i expect it to be within a few words if i just closed the
browser and came back. It can't use any more resources than a usual web-page
and has to be responsive.

For other features to think about, built in version control system, ability
to sync with github or really any cvs/svn/git repo, diff tool integrated
into the editor, collaboration.

Essential 1: utmost security, if they pwn your servers, they should not be
able to have my data, this means that some part of what i pass to you in my
credentials needs to not even reside on your servers (for example you can
use the salted hash to check my the password, but the clear text version is
still needed to decrypt that user's data store) and for the ultra paranoid,
i should be able to further protect my data store with another password the
hash for which you don't store, but rather store the md5 of the hash.
Essential 2: reliability, i would like to be in an N+N+1 where the service
and my data are both highly available without performance degradation when
one of the services/servers goes kablewey (technical term)

Enjoy.

Hello all you php coders out there,

I'm doing an Open Source text editor (just a hobby) that's designed for
PHP developers and is accessible through the web. This has been stewing
for a while, and has gotten to the point where I can use it for my own
work. I would like any feedback on things that people really
like/dislike about their current editors, as I believe some of these
things could be resolved in mine.

I currently have username/password protection (with Salted-Hash
passwords), a file-system browser, file loading/saving, and syntax
highlighting -- and these things seem to work reasonably well. As well,
most things about the editor are scriptable with JavaScript. This would
seem to imply that in a few weeks I would have something useful. So I
would like to get some feedback on what features people would most want,
since I am still at a very flexible stage in development.

If you would like to see what I have, you can go to
un1tware.wordpress.com. You can also peruse the code at
github.com/bhus/scriptr. In particular, the README on github gives a
little bit better rationality for why something like this might be
useful, and how things are currently structured.


I'm a big fan of editors that work in the terminal.

Cheers,
Rob.

Hello all you php coders out there,

I'm doing an Open Source text editor (just a hobby) that's designed for 
PHP developers and is accessible through the web. This has been stewing 
for a while, and has gotten to the point where I can use it for my own 
work. I would like any feedback on things that people really 
like/dislike about their current editors, as I believe some of these 
things could be resolved in mine.

highlighting -- and these things seem to work reasonably well. As well, 
most things about the editor are scriptable with JavaScript. This would 
seem to imply that in a few weeks I would have something useful. So I 
would like to get some feedback on what features people would most want, 
since I am still at a very flexible stage in development.
