Steve,

What type of code are you working with? Firebird SQL? C++? HTML/PHP? Or a
conglomeration of the above?

I use a different editor depending on what I'm working with. For Firebird, I
like IBExpert and use it's built-in editors for working with SQL. For
HTML/PHP/CSS, I use HomeSite because it has some great features for building
web pages. I also use Delphi and use it's editor for writing Pascal code.

I tried CodeWright (http://www.borland.com/codewright) for a while. It has
more features than any other editing system I've seen. The problem for me was
that its scope is so broad and the learning curve so steep, I was more
productive with task-specific IDEs like I've mentioned above. Perhaps
CodeWright is the one for you--but you better get it quick, they're
discontinuing it. ;-)
