#2523 — Code editors for PostScript programs?

What code editor do you use to create and edit PostScript programs?

From the manual of my PostScript program:
http://www.jdawiseman.com/papers/placemat/placemat.html#advice_for_beginners_editor

> • A code editor, a good text editor, is a boon, and it should be one that understands PostScript. The basic text editor that came pre-installed on your computer will make life harder than it needs to be. A code editor that understands PostScript will prevent many errors and save much labour. On a PC NotePad++ is good. On a Mac: Alpha X is excellent and free, though not perfectly coping with OS versions ≥10.9; Aquamacs Emacs is suitable for Emacs experts; Sublime Text 3 seems good, but making it understand PostScript requires a technical step.

Me too. One great advantage with this is that pressing C-c C-s invokes
an interactive mode that also gives you a command history (M-p) etc.!

Blush indeed!

On my Mac I use Alpha X; on Windows I have used NotePad++.

vim, but I mostly stick to the old vi features I learned
in CS101 back in 1997.

.vimrc
set nu
set ai si cindent
set sm
set expandtab
set ts=4 sw=4
nnoremap ^L :set hlsearch!^M^L


execute current file with gs
:!gs %

execute current file with current line as input, replacing
currentline with output
!!gs %


So if I've written a function and want to test it,
I can add a call just after the `def`, move the cursor
to a blank line below that, do `!!gs %`, and join the
output to call line with a comment.

0 1 2 funccall =
!!gs %

=>

0 1 2 funccall
result

=>

0 1 2 funccall % result

But I've recently started playing with emacs now.
I haven't used it yet for postscript code.
