that is why we use you xxx

EDLIN for Windows, VI for Linux

You one of those guys that work hard to prove you can do it eh Gizmo. Your prerogative I suppose, but I'll take the fancier stuff myself, MUCH faster coding than built-in notepad type editors.

I use nano (a Pico clone) for linux; only because I don't like VI, joe, etc.

All I do is code in Notepad/Wordpad; never had an issue with "how fast" i can do things... The only downside is that I can't easily find what line i'm on lol...

I've tried a variety of various editors and I always end up going back to VI. I'd say 98% of everything in UBB.threads was done in VI.

Onlything I use VI for is visudo to edit my sudoers file hehe.

hahaha, Rick scared the windows enforcer, quick, hide the eggs!

LOL - I actually used to use EDLIN and VI but once you really start having to do a lot of coding and use a modern editor you can code a lot faster better code.

Knowing how to use the built-in tools though is good so that if you have to work on another system without modern tools you still know how to do it.

If I was paying you to code though and you were using just the built-in tools I'd think twice about paying you a decent wage if it were based on the hour.

Easy, install yum on the new *nix varient and then install nano ;)...

And I code quite fast using just notepad, it's all I ever use (other than nano/pico); it's not a matter of the tool or how many "cool newbie options" it has, it's a matter of how well you work with what you're used to ;)...

Okay boss. I suppose we can agree to disagree and let it be.
