In this case, http://www.sublimetext.com/ It looks pretty good on the web page. The main negatives I can see are: It costs $70 per user It can only be purchased with Paypal, which I won't use. It's available for OS/X, Linux and Windows, with a single purchase The eval/demo is not time-limited (currently) The positives It can be customized, apparently in Python The simple customizations are specified by JSON files Current download is version 2, but there's a version 3 beta, and if you buy now, you won't have an upgrade fee. ...... Note that the OP didn't ask which is a good editor, but which features make a good editor. I'll post a response to that in a little while. -- DaveA
