ListOfCodeEditors

Last edit May 21, 2009
This is a place to put a brief description of code editors that are capable of editing more than one language.

Characteristics to specify, if possible, include:

  • Name of editor
  • Vendor (or state "open source")
  • Cost (if applicable)
  • Programming languages it can edit or has templates for
  • Platforms
  • Scripting language it uses, if any. (This is not the same as what it edits, but rather it's user-scriptable event-handling language.)

Please try to keep in alphabetic order.

DreamWeaver
  • By Adobe
  • $300?
  • HTML, XML, style-sheets, Adobe languages (ColdFusionLanguage, Action-Script, etc.)
  • Linux, Windows, Mac
  • No scripting

EclipseEditor
  • Open-source
  • General IDE platform supporting a variety of languages via plug-ins, perhaps most commonly used for Java development
  • Java platform

EmacsEditor
  • Open-source
  • Multiple languages
  • Unix, Linux, Windows, Mac
  • Lisp scripting


Note: There is a lot of information already available on different editors. A search on the word editor reveals about 50 pages and there are a lot of things in CategoryTextEditor and more in CategorySoftwareTool. Not all of these will be code editors, but a lot are.
