Ya know what...SciTE is nice....but i'm really liking EditPlus!!

I've been looking at many sites of Text editors and I saw TextMate for the OS X and it looked very nice having a black background. Discovering that I can't change the background in SciTE, I tried out EditPlus.

I really like it so far and yes I have the background black lol. What's more is that is very functional and has a lot more features than SciTE. One thing you have to do, depending on the language(s) you are learning, is to update its syntax files. It doesn't come with Ruby syntax but luckily it has an update for it...like a 5 year old update comparing to the old file uploaded from 2001 lol.

So yea...I now recommend EditPlus! Get it! @_@

::EDIT:: Oh yea...this is my 100th post!!

::EDIT2:: In case you don't want to try EditPlus...check out this list I found.

I think Kate is the best linux based editor.
