Linux Coding Environment for Windows coder 2007-04-16 23:03 NewLinuxCoder
NewLinuxCoder writes "I've pretty much made the switch to Linux from Windows at home, though I'm still stuck on Windows at work...which is where I do most of my coding. But I still have the itch occasionally to write some code at home.
I'm used to text-editing type environments (use UltraEdit and TextPad for Windows mostly) so I'm really just looking for a decent text editor with syntax highlighting, some macro functionality, integrated command execution and stdout/stderr capture. And despite my fun with vi (oddly also mostly at work!) I prefer to code in a GUI. I played with Eclipse in the past and found it somewhat overkill (and to be honest: bloated) for my needs, but maybe I should give it another look?
So the Question is: What is your Linux coding environment?"
