As far as editors go, there are third-party products which have been ported cross-platform. In my opinion, anything is better than ED or AE once you've used a real editor. - My personal favorite for simple editing is wED, which is the Windows EDitor built into AccuTerm. http://www.asent.com - The mvToolbox is impressive with a huge set of features, way above and beyond standard editors. It's sort of the Emacs of the Pick world, if that means anything to anyone. http://mvtoolbox.com/ - The RED editor has been ported to many platforms. I know nothing about it except the web site that hosts this and other utilities is going away in the next week or so. Download a copy of RED, CRED, LED, and other editors from http://www.mvtools.net/ If you miss them I'll probably have them on my freeware site later. About comparing Unidata and Universe, the general concensus seems to be that Universe is much more complex than Unidata. As already mentioned, you need to create a list of requirements and then see which environment gets the most check boxes. Coming from a strong D3 background, I know that platform has a lot of features that many sites unfortunately never use. With product differentiation being what it is though, the more features you use the more proprietary hooks you need to replace. When looking for any new platform, look for the best ways to get what you need without locking into non-standard options. Separation of UI, buiness rules, and data go a long way in this regard, though I know that's easier said than done. Tony (Not selling the tools mentioned above or getting paid for recommendations.)
