I have paid a lot more for editors in my life. Right now I am using a free on PFE (programmers file editor). If you are serious about programming you will spend a lot of time using an editor. PFE is not everything I want but it come close. If it had a spell checker it would do for most everything I want and editor to do. I will look at FTE. Speed beats caffeine by a mile as a normalizing agent.
