Have you tried PSPad? It is way better than Komodo simply because it has "Replace in Files" feature.
What is needed for any advanced text editor is "replace chunks of text in files". This should include "replace text between delimiters IN FILES".
The other thing that is a must for any markup is auto highlight of the opening/closing tag (regardless of the attributes). Success.
(From Alex: Replacing chunks of text... I'll have to keep that in mind for Verbosio. Also, syntax highlighting is one of those things I don't know how to do for Verbosio; that's one area KE beats me on. db48x and I will talk it over again someday.)

*plays with the software some more*
Posted by Shawn Wilsher at February 19, 2007 2:58 PMAm I missing something or does Komodo Edit fail to provide a sidebar view of all files on a remote server within it's "Project" support?
I've used many editors from Crimson Editor to UltraEdit. Pretty sure I've tried PSPad and countless others. I am astounded at how many editors are unable to provide a sidebar view of a remote folder (such as a website).
What astounds me more though is the lack of "Save to FTP" support in graphics programs.
(From Alex: You're really asking the wrong person. I believe server integration comes with Komodo IDE, a non-free product which Komodo Edit derives from. KIDE does advertise CVS and Subversion integration, so they probably have FTP integration as well. As for KE, I don't know yet.)
For sure syntax highlighting is crucial Alex.
Are you talking to Daniel Glazman about Verbosio? Why are there so many 'forks' of the one simple concept - the 'Firefox' of editors? Nvu, Komodo, Verbosio, Glazman's new Composer ... the list goes on.
(From Alex: Yes, I am talking with Daniel Glazman, and Shane Caraveo of ActiveState. I talk with them very often. If you look, though, each of these projects has different goals.
Do I intend to be the Firefox of editors? I'm not really sure yet; right now I'm trying to build something that works.)
Why isn't Mozilla leading such a project which could, after all, be morphed into an 'Mozilla Platform' IDE?
(From Alex: Ask the Mozilla Foundation. As I understand it, they saw a much greater need for browsers and mail clients than for authoring tools. Hence the birth of Firefox and Thunderbird - and the spinoff of N|Vu 1.0 by Daniel Glazman.
Finally, for what little it's worth, congratulations for contributing the 1,000th useful comment to my blog.)
