Hi Jared

Interesting article that is quite current. I have just started to use ultraedit on windows very recently after using textpad for years for development. I use vi of course on unix.

I moved to Ultraedit mainly for the reason it allows macros to be edited, this is the one failing with textpad although there is an open source movement to add a macro edit to textpad by a group of users.

I just wanted to add that in the world of databases and the repetition of code that sometimes exists maybe neither an IDE or text editor is the solution. back in 1996/7 i worked on a data migration from a mainframe to Oracle/Dynix where we wrote a migration program for the applications data in C / Pro*C but we separated out the data access code and used array interfaces and generated 45000 - 50000 lines of Pro*C with a 1000 1500 line bourne / awk script. The Pro*C generated was all dynamic method 2, 3 and 4. Although maybe now with the likes of ultraedit / slickedit this would be classed as a plugin module?

cheers

Pete
