Bluefish is a HTML editor, not a general purpose editor. It didn't crash when I used it last, but that was ages ago, version 0.3 or something. I haven't heard of the other editors you mention. > the ports.

People have suggested nedit. There's also gvim and (x)emacs, since you specify GUI editors. I use gvim (or vim in an xterm, but gvim also has a scrollbar, menus, better mouse support etc): it supports syntax highlighting for just about any language you can think of and I think if you're comfortable with vi keystrokes it's really the best choice. I thought vi and emacs were the only Unix editors anyway... R To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
