Programmer's Editors

Scite is the editor of choice.

Bruce Dobson has packed up a SCITE installer with some useful additions.
+ Andre Burgaud's "Open with SciTE" Context Menu handler.
+ Useful helper tools such as AWK
+ preconfigured SCITE
+ Added some API files
this is available here: http://gisdeveloper.tripod.com/scite.html
Andre Burgand also has some more useful stuff (Java API files etc) available:
