The Editor is the main reason I still use an old NEXTSTEP/OPENSTEP system as  
my main workstation. Editor.app is a simple text editor, but it does 'on the  
fly' folding of text based on indentation, no special characters etc.  
required. I am utterly hooked to that feature, and none of the other  
so-called 'folding editors' I have seen so far come even close to the  
simplicity and ease of use.

If someone out there knows of a folding editor that is based on indents,  
please let me know!

Thanks
