Re: What is Eclipse Orion

I like all editors. I've written my own any number of times, including MEU
which was sort of a remote SEU-like editor but without syntax support. It
was the acme of user unfriendliness! (MEU is still in the JTOpen source
tree, BTW).

VIM Really? No no no. JOE! Now there's an easy to use editor. VIM? That
thing has taught me new swear words. It's horrifying!!

Jack,

True enough! I've tried it and it works well.

Our customers usually insist on the source code staying on the system we
are
working on, as opposed to us downloading it to our systems to do the work
(RDi is the exception to the rule there) so Orion is an excellent way to
do
that, without having to endure EDTF.

Now that BASH is available and VI is on the system we use those
occasionally
too if the web instance for Orion is problematic to the customer. I'm
hoping VIM is announced and supported by IBM soon, and yes we could
download
it and get it running but it's not the same....
