[chirp_devel] Programmer's Code Editor Recommendation

[Jim Unroe]

Hi Chirp-Devel,

I have been working on putting together another computer to do CHIRP
development on. On my old CHIRP development computer, Windows 7 Home
64-bit, I have been using the ConTEXT Programmer's Editor as my main
editor. I really like ConTEXT but it has been out of development for
over 10 years. Also after using its file compare feature, it can crash
at any time losing any work that was done since the last save. A bug
that will obviously not get fixed.

I figure now is as good a time as any to find a different programmer's
code editor to replace ConTEXT. I've been doing some googling to see
if I can come up with something that is cross-platform (at least
Windows and Linux) that I like. However, as I am looking, it occurred
to me that I sould ask the group's members "what editor they are you
using?" or "what editor do you recommend?"

Thanks in advance,
Jim KC9HI
