DSL Ideas and Suggestions :: New Text Editor for DSL

I just stumbled on this new gtk1 text editor project:

http://gtkedit1.sourceforge.net/

It's goal is to be a feature-for-feature replacement for windows notepad. While I'm no fan of notepad, it might make a good candidate for a gui text editor for DSL as so many people are migrating from windows.

Also, the statically compiled binary is a whopping 30k, versus beaver's 300k+ footprint.

Figured I'd pass it along.

Regardless, I'll see about putting together an extension in the near future.

Of course Beaver is a syntax highlighting multibuffer text/script/code editor, so it should be larger than gtkedit1

I like programs like Beaver. They are good when you are editing shell scripts and want to catch simple errors like missing punctuation.

gtkedit1 looks like a good choice for it's intended purpose. But it is not a like-for-like replacement of Beaver.

Oh, don't get me wrong...I'm a huge fan of beaver. I just figured the windows-centric nature of gtkedit would be handy for recent refugees of the windows world.

On a completely personal note, I'd like to thank the Damn Small Linux community for an in-context opportunity to type the phrase "I'm a huge fan of beaver" into a web forum that didn't require me to verify my age first. ;-)

SCITE !
