whats your favorite editor for c++ programming in linux? (or any language for that matter) personally i hate VIedit, but would kinda like something with syntax coloring and things like that. in windows i use textpad, but would like to start gradually moving over to linux 100%. currently i just use pico because the commands are pretty good and useful, but i miss those colors🙂. (vi is such a pain in the ass because of all those extra keystrokes etc... i find it so annoying)

any suggestions?
 
Try jed or emacs then. Jed will color accordingly from the get go. You must have emacs installed in order for jed to work.
 
Personally, I use VI for just about everything. The Linux compiler has its own pretty good debugger, so all you need to do is keep your code clean and organized (hell, you should be doing this anyway, but this just FORCES you to do it correctly).
 
Personally, I used Nedit. It has syntax highlighting for most any programming language. If I'm just in text mode, I use pico because I know how to do most of the commands. Vi bugs the hell out of me, but that's because I never took the time to learn it. If you find a good manual/faq/howto on how to use it and actually learn it, vi is quite powerful.
 
yeah, i know alot of people swear by VI, and i have access to a decent tutorial, but i cant get over the fact that you have to do a special key combination just to type! couldnt they have done something like CTRL-whatever for all the menus and hotkeys and let me type whenever i damn please?
