UltraEdit?

[Ron Graham]

Has anybody used UltraEdit for their perl scripting? Is this the best
editor or is their a better one for general networking and perl/vbscript
scripting? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I like Active State Komodo, but thats geared to open source languages,
for VB Im not so sure what you should use.

Cheers,

I use Textpad. Never liked the crowded UI of UltraEdit. Had a peek at
Eclipse but that is to me unusable for perl editing.

I hope that Textpad gets folding soon, since that's one option I miss.

When I'm on Windows, I use UltraEdit for everything _except_ Perl, where I use
Emacs with cperl-mode - IMHO it can't be beat for Perl editing.

Top posting fixed.

I use UltraEdit all the time for HTML, CSS, Perl, and any other text
editing I need to do. It is a great tool well worth the money (yes, I
bought it). The latest version (10+) even does ftp over ssh. I
upgraded from a pretty old version after removing telnet and ftp from
one of the servers I administer. Now, all the servers I administer only
use ssh for remote access. I'd be lost without UE as I got so used to
working with files directly from the server using the open/save with
ftp. UltraEdit also has syntax highlighting for the above mentioned
languages as well as C++, VB, and some others. There's not a day goes
by that I don't use it for something.

The latest version of Ultra Edit is 11.00a. For my perl, it's good
enough. It
has syntax highlighting, ctags support, a function/sub list, and if you
tweak
it some it could also give you perldoc support (I guess).

We use UltraEdit via sftp connections for almost all our perl work and are
in general pretty happy with it. We have been experimenting a bit with
Eclipse using the E-P-I-C perl plugin and samba - the jury's still out on
that.....
