I use Ultraedit and I am happy with it. MPLAB is more like Notepad, not a
real tool. Some features MPLAB don't have:

- possibility to edit keybindings
- a function list (showing all the functions or, in case of assembler, all
labels... click and you're there)
- "search files", where you can search multiple files and get a list of
occurrances...
- search and replace in files
- decent regular expressions in searches
- macros
- definable wordlist (for colours). Very powerful tool.
- (){}[] counting, real auto indent, bookmarks, "back" like in IE (takes
you back to where you last edited)
- and everything is fully configurable

When MPLAB has these features, I might work with it... before that they
just should build a similar functionality as in ICCAVR IDE... where you
click an error message, it takes you to your favorite editor and brings up
the right line in right file.

I am not saying that UltraEdit is the best editor, it just works for me
because I do a lot of coding over the FTP and it can open/save files over
FTP. Some other good editor might work for you people.
