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.

edit the size of the text area if you ant it bigger.

Why not use your FTP client to edit files too
