You have a valid point and I hear what you're saying cotc2001, however, if the editor in X-Cart was nearly as good as the humble text editor in Windows (at the very least), then we wouldn't need to cut and paste and muck around and use 3rd party software at all. I would love to see a poll on this (shame we can't have polls here)... and see, among the forum members, just how popular the x-cart editor is compared to the Windows editor, Dreamweaver, etc., etc.

Anyway, in my opinion, the 4 most important things in an editor are:

a) A big open editing window (less text wrapping that way),
b) Unlimited undo's (we're human, we make mistakes),
c) Ability to work on multiple files at once (it's very rare that IБ─≥m ever working on less than two files at a time),
d) Colour coding of text, numbers, and special code (easy to identify code and much easier to read).

Dreamweaver MX allows me to do all these things and a million more but those are the more important ones.
