Hello Lowyat-ers!

Can some programmers here take a look at my text editor (wrote it myself, VC++) and tell me what they think ?

Its designed to be minimalist and to have a retro look. Very easy to use. I think it's better than Vim but of course i would say that, my baby right ? So can someone else be kind enough and review it please ?

From a technical standpoint is it any good ? Hows the design ? Be brutal, be honest - if it's bad say it's bad, don't worry about my feelings.


The editor can be downloaded here: http://oldskooled.a2hosted.com









It's for Windows XP onwards. Console app, so it can't show unicode characters but you can open, work-with and save unicode files. This is just ver 1.0 but Ver 2.0 will be gui-based and be able to show unicode characters. But don't hope too much for ver 2.0 - I am almost cash-broke, cannot continue working on this...

Wah, didn't know have local-made text editor written in VC++.

But the link is not valid anymore..... are you still active?

Dang, we had someone that made a better editor than vim and we missed it?
