Code Editors for Linux

Could anyone suggest a good (free) Code Editor for Linux? I was extremely pampered by Crimson Editor on Windows, and I haven't been able to find a free editor that's on par with it.

why not check the "favourite editors" thread in general discussion?

KDE has KDevelop, and Quanta Plus.. both work well from my experience (9 hour road trip each way using slackware on my friend's laptop).

So does PHP Designer 2005 - if you have a REALLY current version of Wine. I use Quanta alot but it tends to crash when I have several large files open and the syntax highlighting is s l o w. Eric3 is nice too.

jEdit is the best ive found. Also works great with html. Tons of plugins too. Runs on windows, linux, unix, osx... you name it.

If you have Gnome installed, I personally like Gedit. If you have KDE installed, why not try Kate. If you are strictly console, jed has syntax highlighting for php :D

I use kate with KDE... it's highlighting is a bit poor but hey... it's not a fully pleged PHP ediotr.

Never tried running crimson with wine.... should give it a go.

I probably hate Kate as much as I dislike KDE. But others around here have said Kate is good for them, so I just mentioned it.

Quanta is also nice, although bloated in some regards.

gedit is a text editor, not a code editor.

for free editors, nothing is easier to customize, nor supportive of more languages, than emacs. it does however, get matched by xemacs.


both are great. and i personally prefer xemacs, but there's not that big of a difference
