Hi everyone,

I discovered that The Semware Editor, successor to QEdit, is now
freeware for Windows and Linux. It's a really powerful text-based
editor. It's available at semware.com.

I use it as my Windows box's text editor and with Multimail.

I like EDIT.COM also but my time is more valuable than using the wrong tool for the job.

Yeah, me too. And to think: it's just unlocking code (the so-called "Soft-PC" VDM) that was already in NTVDM all these years and Microsoft could have easily done the same (or maybe not so "easy" due to licensing concerns).

Kindof surprised they didn't just outright buy it out. They used to be good for that way back when.

With our hero Billy gates divorced now, maybe we can persuade him to return to MS and fix our broken Windows. They've become a bit drafty over the years.

I love the Rube Goldberg contraption that is DISM for managing the eternal
hell that is the WinSXS update repository. I imagine it was conceived by someone who religiously rides their bicycle to work or has a standing-desk
that they must constantly brag about to all their coworkers.

well i mean for a console app editor. For a GUI editor in windows I've used editpad pro for many years. Bryan Turner turned me onto it.
It's probably very comparable to Notepad++.

Notepad++ is free and open source, so that appears to be a big difference. I actually don't use text mode editors in Windows, but I spend a lot of time in vim on Linux. When I am using a GUI on Linux (which isn't often), then it's usually Geany as my editor of choice these days.

yeah but i really like editpad. it's great. i've used notepad++ a bit but i really like editpad. it has a free version that most people would be happy with. I don't see something as being open sourced as a draw.
