vi and Nedit are my faves, but I was wondering what people use for general text editing and coding on Irix. vim? emacs? Other?

i hope this isn;t going to turn into yet another vi verses emacs thread they must account for over half of the theads on all forums around the world.
but yes i like vi if i am doing anything important if its just a quick script or a note i just use nano which is a pico clone with a few extras

Well.... I´m quite comfortable with nedit´s syntax highlighting capabilities, but then it´s been ages since I seriously programmed. Does vi have extensible code highlighting? I need to write myself an OPL syntax highlighter sometime (Psion palmtop programming). For all things unicode I use yudit. It´s got a custom interface which is a bit of a pain sometimes, but it´s stable and let´s you write and save about every format under the sun. Especially try Armenian in emacs or vi.... it´s just not the same as in yudit... hehe.

emacs would be good if I could bring myself to master it's syntax, and if I could get used to using a text editor the way most people use a window manager...
vi, on the other hand, just about rules. I've used nvi and vim from time to time (specifically, vim is great for syntax highlighting and long-line support), but no matter how you shake it -- it's an admins-editor. I have found nothing with the power and simplicity of it's regexp engine and command interface; where else can you search and conditionally replace using a regexp, on a specific subset of lines, without ever touching a mouse?
I am one with vi. Feel the vi-ness inherent in the universe, and you will know true power.

I agree with lisp on this one - time to move into the 21st century and use a proper visual editor.
Nedit gets my vote as well as Jedit - one Java base editor that can keep up with my typing (Ok, I don't type that fast and I have R10K and R12K based machines).
Has a great plugin system and huge number of features.
