I am not a full-time programmer, and might work on 3 or 4 programming
projects per year. In between that time, I lose a lot of familiarity
with languages, and so for me an important feature of any programming
text editor is syntax checking, and text highlighting.
re 2: I've been checking out SciTE, and so far am liking it quite a bit.

Syntax-highlighting is useful to me as well. Both emacs and vim do a
reasonably good job of it.

What is nice is being able to "tweak" the syntax highlighting for a
language. Again, emacs and vim do a pretty job of that, too. Some
editors have syntax highlighting but it is very limited in what it can
do. Having the ability to add a new language for highlighting is also a
good feature. Not all editors support that.

Re #25:
I dropped jEdit into the RHEL installation I have at work and am enjoying its
nice directory browser pane :-) Had to replace gcj with Sun's own for it to
run. Sadly, text rendering is painfully slow when I turn on font smoothing.

When I am working in a text-only environment, such as an SSH session, or
if I am doing a quick edit that does not justify starting a full
programming editor, I tend to revert back to VI. When I am working on
something larger, I usually revert to Komodo (Active State). It works
well, is the same in Windows or Linux, and is language-aware, without
being the bloated monster that is Jedit/Eclipse/Rational RSA. I also
like that it doesn't force you into the model of a project, if all you
are working on is a single code or a single module.

How much does Komodo cost now?

resp: 30 - The editor-only version (which is still pretty
fully-featured) is free. The IDE version, which integrates debugging,
source code management and a few other features is about 300$ as of Jan
2013. I have been happy with the free version. -DTK

Yeah, I'd prefer the IDE for Perl work, but $300 is quite a bit
for an IDE, although it does come with some other tools that
are useful, so that makes it more worth it if you have the need.
