Update to Previous Article (Toolsets)

Just a short update: In the previous post I was talking about tools those of you on Windows could use for editing. I mentioned InType as being the closest thing to TextMate.

I ran across another editor  – simply called ‘e‘ – that is even better.  It’s very close to TextMate in functionality and is more mature than InType (e.g. support for opening directories as projects, collaboration,  multiple tabs, and more).

Check it out right here.

    Visual Studio was great for handling the complexity of .NET but like the framework itself it felt too heavy to me.

    I agree with you and for my Django/Python adventures my new “IDE” is vi. I really want to dig in and see what’s happening behind the scenes (which of course is another benefit of open vs. closed source). This does take more time initially but I believe it leads to greater knowledge and productivity in the longer term.
