I was looking through old issues of the Microsoft Systems Journal for
interesting articles when I came upon a review of program editors in the
March 1988 issue. Considering that it's a current topic here, I thought
I should mention it. They reviewed in depth:
BRIEF
ME (from Magma Software Systems, not Multi-Edit!)
VEDIT PLUS
UNIPRESS EMACS
KEDIT
Of these five, they preferred ME from Magma Software Systems, because it
had all the functionality of the others (and more in the case of EMACS and
KEDIT), used a C-like macro language and was only $40 verses $185-$1255
for the others. To order ME contact:
Magma Software Systems

From the discussions here, it looks like the two favorite editors are Brief and Epsilon. Tom Almy toma@tekgvs.labs.tek.com Standard Disclaimers Apply I use Epsilon (or couldn't you guess?)
