Windows Programmers' Editors
Nov. 11th, 2005 04:43 pmUsually I use BBEdit on my Mac to write code (PHP, Perl, HTML, whatnot). It's the most awesome editor ever.
However, today I am using a Win XP machine. I searched and searched for an editor that had some comparable features, first and foremost live editing of remote documents via SFTP. I couldn't get it to work in any of the editors recommended by other BBEdit users who sometimes have to use Win XP:
HomeSite
CrimsonEditor
TextPad
Finally I realized that my old standby from the last time I used Windows was the answer:
UltraEdit!
This is a really nice editor, and I highly recommend it to any Mac users who occasionally find themselves stuck in Windows land. It has many of the features I love about BBEdit: great syntax highlighting and code indentation, File Tree View, which is a thingy somewhat comparable to BBEdit's Document Drawer, live SFTP editing (although not quite as good as BBEdit's), HTML Validation, and many more nice features.
