   The best text editors
  I have been looking for a really good text editor that either runs on OS X, or can be compiled on different unix X11 variants.  Now I found the  best text editor I have EVER seen.   Its called CRiSP.   Try it, its for windows/linux and a few other platforms, including OS X.  However, its 150 dollars, and the demo will run out at some point.   So does anyone know of anything free that is compareable?  Keeo in mind it must either run on Mac OS X, or be open source so I can compile myself. 
Vim |.dev-c++.|.the gimp.|.seti@home.|.dbpoweramp.|.torn.|.=w=.| ;  Vim pales in comparison to crisp.  Heck, crisp has a builtin vim key emulation setting.   And so much more. ;  Each to their own of course...I don''t think Visual Slick Edit works on MacOSX, but don''t quote me on that.A while back I looked at CRiSP, CodeWright, VSE (thats visual slick edit) etc. while using Multi-Edit. I went with VSE.I now use VIM. Imho VIM only really lacks two (major) things: Templates (ala multi-edit) and a Auto List Members (ala VSE). The former can (and has been) basicaly fixed via some scripts. while the latter I''ve yet to find a satisfactory solution. Auto List Members is what VSE calls listing data(members|functions) when you type . or ->Fow what it is worth.Luck,Feral ;  What''s wrong with notepad :| ;  Whats right with notepad? ;   What''s wrong with Notepad?! Nothing! It''s flawless! You can save documents... and.. save them. Oh, and open them.  ;  One thing I like about CRiSP is the really powerful macro langauge.  I could in theory make a mud server in it.  I think I can also create custom code completion, and GUI debugger interface.  It has a freat interface, project management, and custom menus. ;  Notepad has one saving grace... It starts up pretty fast.;  emacs is good enough for me
