editors

[BBands]

Notepad++, my editor of choice for some years, dropped the Scientology
bomb today. So it is time to move on as I'd prefer my editors to be
without religion. I'd like an open-source, cross-platform editor with
code folding, outlining, code completion for Python, R and other
common languages and basic encryption support. Recommendations? (In
China just now, so replies may be problematic.)

April 1 perhaps?  Just a guess.

People tend to greatly prefer the editor solution they have invested
time in so its very difficult to get an unbiased opinion here but here
is an overview of your choices:

http://sciviews.org/_rgui/projects/Editors.html

vim and gvim (a Gui-ized variant of vim) have all the features you
mention as well as many more plus literally thousands of add-on
packages but do have a steep learning curve.  They are free with a GPL
compatible license and if you wish to become a "sponsor" then the
author donates such monies to help Ugandan children.  There is an
add-on called Cream (on sourceforge) that adopts Common User Access
standards in place of the native interface and it would be
superficially closer to Notepad while being vim underneath.

I have recently rediscovered the joy of Emacs, but that probably
violates the religion-free requirement!

Breathing a sigh of relief he types: From "Men in Black". Kay:
"No, ma'am. We at the FBI do not have a sense of humor we're aware
of... May we come in?"

Before I switched to Notepad++ I used Tinn which was orphanned by its
developer and then forked into Tinn-R. I rather liked that, but it
seems to be orphanned as well. Anyone know what's up with that?

Best.

I don't know if it would perfectly fit your requirements, but I like
Geany and RStudio. Many like Eclipse StatET or Emacs ESS.

Hi, Tinn-R project is not orphaned!!!
I've been working more under Linux environment (using R + Vim + Vim-R-Plugin), but doing the basic maintenance in the Tinn-R.

In a few months the Tinn-R will be compiled on Windows 7, I believe some things should be improved.
(Although it has been tested on this platform and found no problems.)
