Editor?

I have gotten very good use out of jedit (jedit.org). It has lots of plugins and syntax highlighters and with an ant build file there is not much you can't setup to build from within the editor.

I keep hearing things about eclipse, but everytime I have tried a new version release I find it too confusing to use and configure.

SlickEdit is fashionable now. Has Brief emulation. Has versions that run on Windows, Unix, and other platforms. Its nice that you can take it with you regardless of platform, most anyway.

For trivial code changes (on PCs or unixen): vi For bigger changes on Unixen: emacs For bigger changes on PCs: Visual Studio

I only recommend Visual Studio because my company provides an MSDN subscription to all engineers - I wouldn't have tried it otherwise. For windows development, it rocks. Some guys I work with actually edit their unix code with it, too, because it's a great code editor.

TextEdit is not bad

excuse me TextPad.

One word... emacs. It exists for ALL platforms and will not be abandoned like other products.

Or... have a look ar CRISP. It is a brief clone.

On the strength of the column mode promise I just downloaded it -- very nice. I spent about 45 minutes customizing it for Verilog and it looks OK (any "real" Verilog syntax definitions out there?).

I don't know how good they are, but there are a couple here:

These are ones I've bookmarked

CRedit - was good, free, but now frozen.

ConTEXT - similar to CRedit, bit slightly less frozen.

For Free and OpenSource editors, there are :

Programmers Nodepad, improving steadily...

You'll need to check into the brief emulation.

Needless to say, if your definition is better than the one on the UltraEdit website, you should share it with them so that the next fellow doesn't have the same problem.

LOL... vi is the one-n-only better choice, gvim aka GUI on Windows....

Multi Edit, of course I think it even has a built in option for Brief emulation (although why anyone would want that is beyond me :)

If the Kedit refered to is the one from Mansfiled software

I use the "SEE" editor that came with the ancient "DeSmet C" compiler for DOS. It allows me to edit without looking at the keyboard since it makes little use of the Function Keys.

I didn't liked it until I found VisualAssistX. VS6 in combination with VAX is really great. It only lacks the colum mode from UltraEdit.

And, if forced to use Windows(TM), look to Lemmy for a well implemented vi for that platform.

Yes - the column mode is extremely useful.

I've been using UltraEdit for years and I also highly recommend it.

Nope, there's is better -- mine was just thrown together to see what it could do, plus I'm a relative newbie to Verilog.

Since it hasn't been mentioned yet, I've found NEdit to be pretty nice and free:

For X-windows, not sure about windows.
