+1 on terminal. For gui-based ones, i like to be able to syntax check my code and run it from within the editor window, tabs for dozens of files i usually have open at once, highlight that supports many languages as i can be working on many at once (php, css, js, ruby, python, C, lua, sql, for the ones i have open in geany atm), shortcuts are essential for things like find or replace in a selected area or what have you, regex support in search, and something that can be themed with white on black. For web-based ones, i never want to have to physically press anything to save my work, and i expect it to be within a few words if i just closed the browser and came back. It can't use any more resources than a usual web-page and has to be responsive. For other features to think about, built in version control system, ability to sync with github or really any cvs/svn/git repo, diff tool integrated into the editor, collaboration. Essential 1: utmost security, if they pwn your servers, they should not be able to have my data, this means that some part of what i pass to you in my credentials needs to not even reside on your servers (for example you can use the salted hash to check my the password, but the clear text version is still needed to decrypt that user's data store) and for the ultra paranoid, i should be able to further protect my data store with another password the hash for which you don't store, but rather store the md5 of the hash. Essential 2: reliability, i would like to be in an N+N+1 where the service and my data are both highly available without performance degradation when one of the services/servers goes kablewey (technical term) Enjoy. -- The trouble with programmers is that you can never tell what a programmer is doing until it’s too late. ~Seymour Cray On Tue, Sep 13, 2011 at 4:35 PM, Robert Cummings <robert@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>wrote: > On 11-09-13 03:56 PM, Brad Huskins wrote: > >> Hello all you php coders out there, >> >> I'm doing an Open Source text editor (just a hobby) that's designed for >> PHP developers and is accessible through the web.
