Any good text editors out there?

TEXTPAD

http://www.textpad.com/

Unfortunately the download is an evaluation copy.
They used to have a free version toned down.

I have used this product at work for over 5 years, and it is my favorite editing package. Many great features.

Damn right! Vi sucks!

openoffice is slow as sh|t.

if it's just wordprocessing, i'd suggest abiword on abisource.com ... works like a charm, is compatible with office, quick to load up and quick to quit in both windows and linux...

it's free, too.

and i like xemacs.

pico's much nicer than both.

Pico sucks, nano sucks less, vi is pure unadulterated evil.

What idiot decided to to code it in java??

Pico sucks, nano sucks less, vi is pure unadulterated evil.

see, it's a religion.

besides, pico is a blessing when sshing into a sshd over a modem. xemacs, emacs, vi, and vim all suck up way too much overhead for them to be that useful.

Even better is e3 (preferably the emacs incarnaton ), or possible joe, which is a child of emacs. Its all good!

People, read the original request. He wants a word processor, not a text editor.

[Whaleboy]

St Leo: emacs

Its as good as both!

and like i said, he should get abiword.

Predictions before I opened this thread:

1) Linux geek posts an editor only found in Linux
2) Someone mentions vi

What about vim you bastards oh look at the pretty colors!!!

[MattH]

I knew that vi comment would start something....
Seriously, though- I just use Open Office/Notepad

abiword's availible for windows.
