I just saw this today, It’s called RedCar

If I’m not using a full blown IDE on Linux, I prefer to go with Kate (KDE), it’s the Notepad++ of Linux (Guess what text editor I use on Windows 😛)

I’ll give this one a go next time I’m on Linux

BTW, the title is somewhat misleading, should be something like Linux Equivalnt of textmate 😛

You use notepad++ on windows. I have fixed the title, I use e-texteditor, netbeans whatever has code completion.

Yeah, I tend to use Notepad++ on my netbook more for a quick bit of coding (using the quicktext plugin for snippets) and Eclipse when doing some serious Dev work lol (well, anything more then a bit)

I don’t know if it’s just me, Eclipse is too slow on my computer. Any ideas? Can the autocomplete be set on Eclipse?

Eclipse used to be painfully slow and resource intensive (the Europa build) but the current (ganymade) is much much better
Basic autocomplete works by default (for PHP functions and helpers, to get autocomplete for libraries, I use this trick

I also prefer Eclipse templates over any snippets implementation I’ve seen

E-texteditor should now also be able to run on Linux, but it is a bit buggy as it hasn’t been completely ported just yet.

I’m using the default texteditor G-edit, add a side panel for folderstructure, download a black theme and increase the font and you’re good to go =)

It might be a bit heavy and slow but i use NetBeans. Has autocomplete, built in SVN support and runs on any platform coz it’s written in… wait for it… wait for it…

wait for it….

Java. OK but seriously it’s quite good 😊

It might be a bit heavy and slow but i use NetBeans.

Most people see Netbeans as a light weight alternative to Eclipse (and that used to be the case) but is it just me, or is netbeans 6.5 supposed to use 300+mb RAM?

I’ve had eclipse running for the best part of a week, some huge projets, 20+ files open, and only using 63Mb RAM 😊 (peak usage was 160)
