Hi Chirp-Devel,

I have been working on putting together another computer to do CHIRP development on. On my old CHIRP development computer, Windows 7 Home 64-bit, I have been using the ConTEXT Programmer's Editor as my main editor. I really like ConTEXT but it has been out of development for over 10 years. Also after using its file compare feature, it can crash at any time losing any work that was done since the last save. A bug that will obviously not get fixed.

I figure now is as good a time as any to find a different programmer's code editor to replace ConTEXT. I've been doing some googling to see if I can come up with something that is cross-platform (at least Windows and Linux) that I like. However, as I am looking, it occurred to me that I sould ask the group's members "what editor they are you using?" or "what editor do you recommend?"

Thanks in advance, Jim KC9HI
