Status: offline 		I have been using EditPlus for quite some time and just recently started using Primal Script and have put in a request for it and AdminScript Editor.  I can't wait to get that.



Let's hear it.  The good, the bad, the ugly.

Status: offline 		I recently bought ASE and while I have not seen the other editors I can say that ASE is very nice.  I like the custom "Regions" that you can create to collapse code in to blocks.  This helps me so much keeping everything straight.  The code coloring is cool, it does seem to help.  I like the fact that when you copy code into word or some thing that supports colored text the coloring stays.  WMI wizard helps when I am looking for something common and I like being able to see the output values.  The exe packager works and has its uses.  I like having support and wizards for kix and autoit.  I used to do a lot of logon scripts and small programs with Kix.  The built-in code "Snippet" library is useful for housing and inserting custom functions or blocks of code.  I use the character code lookup a lot, put a charter or string and it shows the character codes and with the click of the button places them at tour cursor.  It has other good features as well. 

I would like to hear of features that the other editors have.

Status: offline 		i use primalscript at work mostly since i mainly code in vbs with some perl and batch scripting mixed in for good measure

for home and school i use sciTE, works on all the languages and OS'es i use plus its free :)

http://www.scintilla.org/SciTE.html

pros and cons
primalscript
pros: has syntax highlighting and folding (for subs/functions etc) shows objects procedures as soon as you hit the period - vb.net style ( i really like this feature!), mass indenting, mass commenting, tabbed windows
cons: you have to pay for it
I use it at work mainly because work paid for it, otherwise id use sciTE

sciTE
pros: syntax highlighting, folding, very customizable, cross platform app, free, mass indenting, mass commenting, supports many many languages, tabbed windows
cons: some configuration necessary for some languages
i use this one at home mainly because it supports so many languages i am able to do work for home, school and my job in the same app without any problems

Status: offline 		Notepad++,
While it remains very simple and lightweight, it has advanced customizable syntax highlighting colors, multitab view togglable to dual pane view (easy for copy-paste from one script to another, support many languages thought VBS use the VB dictionary (not realy a problem in fact), fold same-indent lines (useful for skipping long If-End If's! Hehehe!).
And it's free

I don't think I could need anything else to write scripts...

Cons: Save-as force you to rewrite the extention. If you forget it, it saves without ext.

Status: offline 		Yes, I messed with it some time....but since the shortkeys are way different than the regular Windows Function keys and it is not tabbed i had reason enough to leave that one behind... (picky 'ey)

There must be more reasons, only i cannot think of them right away

Status: offline 		Well, I started using just Notepad. Now that I've gained hardly any experience at all, I've found a cool editor called VbsEdit by Andersoft. Not that it's helping a whole lot, but it makes some things easier for me.

I've been using it for years.  I started with version 3.  Syntax highlighting is a real help.

It's also great for all kinds of text file manipulation.

Love the collapsable regions, the syntax hilighting, the syntax helper... all very nice.

Plus, work paid for it!  w00T!

I use it exclusively for my vbs stuff.  Now, when I have to do batch files... notepad.  I've tried doing batch in Primalscript, but the colors make me start thinking 'vbs', and I start building arrays in a batch file before I realize what I'm doing!
