Barebones Editor
The new GoldED Barebones package is a GoldED AIX distribution reduced to the bare essentials with the added bonus of CygnusED-inspired configuration. It's aggressively priced and targed at fans of retro editors. It's ultra-fast and provides features such as folding or syntax highlighting. Available at a special price during product launch (28/Nov-30/Nov)!

GoldED Barebones is a retro-look ultra-fast editor designed for users who enjoy working with CygnusED and other classic Amiga editors. It's derived from GoldED AIX, with an equally impressive set of core features, ranging from syntax highlighting to folding, but with muted graphics, and a CygnusED-inspired configuration. GoldED Barebones does not include development environments, nor HTML support and definitely no FAX button. It's a lean mean ... - but let's not get carried away :-) The free version can edit files with up to 1000 lines, no other limitations.
Available on CD-ROM for AmigaOS3. Retail price is 19.99 EURO (plus p&p). During the product launch period (ends 30/Nov) this package is available for 14.99 EUR (plus p&p). While stock lasts.

Barebones Editor Launch : Comment 29 of 30 | ANN.lu |

But to be fair, they have improved a lot since TECO :-)

Some of the concepts in these Xerox editors have been incorporated into editors running on more reasonably named operating systems - EMACS and VI being two. The problem with these editors is that Real Programmers consider "what you see is what you get" to be just as bad a concept in Text Editors as it is in women. No the Real Programmer wants a "you asked for it, you got it" text editor - complicated, cryptic, powerful, unforgiving, dangerous. TECO, to be precise.
It has been observed that a TECO command sequence more closely resembles transmission line noise than readable text [4]. One of the more entertaining games to play with TECO is to type your name in as a command line and try to guess what it does. Just about any possible typing error while talking with TECO will probably destroy your program, or even worse - introduce subtle and mysterious bugs in a once working subroutine. |
