Blog About Your Text Editor

Write about which text editor you chose and why that text editor felt different from the others

Spend the remaining ten minutes of the hour putting together a blog post. You should write about which text editor you chose and why that text editor felt different from the others. If none of the text editors you've tried felt 'right' then write about that - what was it that didn't feel right?

When your blog post is published then post a link to it on the challenge discussion page and leave feedback on your peers posts.

You can also start a debate on the discussion page such as "TextWrangler vs TextMate", asking people to vote by leaving a comment about which one they prefer. Make sure if you are voting yourself to provide arguments about your choice.

Although I’ve been working with Notepad++ and HTML-Kit for years, this was still a useful exercise. It introduced me to a couple of editors I’d never used before and got me thinking about what I’m looking for in an editor.

I don't know enough about text editors to properly choose one at this point. So, I just choose one randomly to fulfill this arbitrary assignment in order to move on, hopefully actually learn something. After I have some context on web design I will go back and make an informed decision on which editor to use.

I chose Notepad++ because the environment was very comfortable to use for quick edits. :-) It also provided the user with the ability to customize it to suit their needs.

OK, you've played with it a lot more than I have if you've found ways to customize it! I just wrote my lovely little "Hello world" page! Not much creativity there! Anyway, now I have a challenge: Find ways to customize Notepad++! Thanks!

In my blog post on choosing a text editor - http://www.venturemistakes.com/choosing-a-text-editor/ - I went with Brackets.io, its seems very easy to use and it allows you to see your html edits immediately
