jEdit Rocks

jEdit is one seriously good text editor. I avoided using it because it was “Java” based (for some reason I have an instinctive dislike for all things Java, probably irrational), but after a week or so of using it, mapping all sorts of custom macros and keyboard shortcuts to my liking, and marvelling at how it makes my life easier with fewer trips to the mouse, I wonder why I didn’t give it more time, sooner. Free, multiplatform, and highly useful. Now if only “autocompletion” were as transparent for Python as it probably is for Java users…
