AVR-Chat

Presently I'm using Programmers Notepad on Windows and QEdit, I 
believe, on Linux.

Both have their good and bad points, like anything. But learning and 
going back and forth between the two is hectic. I want to go to a 
decent programmer's editor that works, more or less the same, on both 
OSs.

I'm looking real hard at Eclipse. You folks that are forced to use both 
OSs what do you suggest?

Emacs?

Leon

I use a standard text editor on both. Occasionally, I will use notepad+ 
+ on windows. It has a few extra features (line numbers, auto indent,  
etc). Gedit on Linux has mostly the same features. If you need the  
same program on both, you will likely end up using java.

http://www.vim.org/ is probably already on your Linux system.

I'm really fond of Visual SlickEdit. This is a commercial editor, not
a freebie, but I figure since it's the program I "live" in day in and
day out, I find it's worth every penny. I've been using SlickEdit for
about 14 years now (wow). I started in 1994 when SlickEdit was the
only native editor available for Windows NT running on the DEC Alpha.
