I thought we were talking about regular PC text editors, not P-Mainframes...

I run z/OS on my PC and through the WSA I can seamlessly edit PC files.

OK: played a bit with SPFLite. (Sammay: this *is* on PC!) (Real ISPF on mainframe is at least 5 years ago for me.)
Really some functions I miss. But more to be used for e.g. assembler code (with static tabs, for example) - while 'PC' editors have advantages for high languages (like XY-scripts :-) )
One of the most missed functions is excluding of lines

I will see if I have some use for it in the next time...

Now that's "user experience"!

Nice picture

My problem: I look at it and immediately know what's meant.
Probably your problem: you don't. So I understand your problem with "user experience"

It's a situation like a linux user: he knows what's meant, and the others talk about "user experience?"

People still use Linux?
Why?

I never used mainframe systems (but I had a nice conversation with one of the two texteditors.org admins a few days ago who grew up with them). I tried using THE (XEDIT/KEDIT clone) but I failed. Probably I'm just too young for that.

(Having Emacs full-screen on one screen. Cough.)

I used TextPad for fifteen years, and just switched over to Sublime Text 3. I wrote a long blog post about it.

You could work around the <li> cursor placement by using snippets, I guess.

I wished NeoVim would see the light of day on Windows but it's mostly a year now and it still isn't compiling...

NeoVim is compilable on Windows (with some effort), but why not just use the regular Vim?

Interesting. So, who exactly has build a working Windows version?

Looks like ST3 developement is active after months of silence http://www.sublimetext.com/3dev

Yeah, 6 releases in February is promising. Definitely worth the huge amount of time I devote to write the 'almost' complete ST3 manual.
@aliteralmind: Sorry, but most ST3' weakness in your Worpress post are not correct, that's normal due to lack of documentation. exampe:
- Macro are editable (*.sublime-macro)
- bracket highlighting is enabled via setting: "match_brackets": true,
- ST3 fully support Unicode
- ST3's menu and Command Pattlete are fully editable (*.sublime-menu and *.sublime-command)
- workspace-specific configuration: Edit via *.sublime-project and *.sublime-workspace
- inline spell checking: View > Spell check

Yeah, but ST's biggest flaw is sparse documentation. You have to take a long look into provided package/settings files to get any idea.

Here's my full documentation (included all other documentations found on internet!): https://github.com/Binocular222/Sublime ... umentation
