I'm in the market for a new code editor/IDE. And by "in the market" I mean "unwilling to pay for", obviously. Just wondering what a few are that you all *use* (not "have tried, but no longer use for X"). For the moment I'm using Code::Blocks, which I like; like, that is, except for the rather large memory footprint and overall "incomplete" feel. So I'd like something a bit more polished. Also, I don't mind dealing with the command-line (been working mainly with Cygwin for the past few weeks), but I'd like to be able to automate tasks. Features ideally include: - customizable syntax highlighting and indentation - basic project management -- source browser categorized by file extension - at least basic extensibility - speed & low memory usage, but also - some type of code completion or "go to function" and - customizability enough to define syntactic rules and highlighting for any language It seems like a lot, I guess. But I really just want an editor that I can open up any time I like to scribble something down, but that still has a few of the conveniences of an actual *code* editor -- Crimson Editor comes to mind first, but I'd like a little bit of input from someone else before fighting it for one-time macro setup.
