What about VS Code?

-- 141.100.74.218 (talk) 16:05, 13 June 2016 (UTC)

+1 for VS Code, it's gained widespread adoption and is arguably one of the better-known and more successful TypeScript projects. It's notable enough to have its own Misplaced Pages page, and because it's (apparently) not derived from any major previously existing editor, I believe it deserves a mention here. Julesmazur (talk) 15:14, 8 November 2016 (UTC)

VS Code is primarily an integrated development environment, which happens to have a source code editor. Those are specializations which make it fit under one or both of those topics, but not really as a text editor. As usual there's other stuff (about a quarter of this page could be trimmed without losing anything relevant to the topic). TEDickey (talk) 21:04, 8 November 2016 (UTC)

Elastic tabstops

Please include elastic tabstops in the feature comparison. Aside from automatic alignment for source code, they are essential for viewing/editing tab-separated values. Richard Taytor (talk) 22:34, 15 March 2017 (UTC)

External links modified

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified 5 external links on Comparison of text editors. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

Joe's own editor (sic)

The homepage for Joe's editor says there is no Windows version. It's irrelevant if someone has "ported" it. TEDickey (talk) 17:12, 19 August 2017 (UTC)

Looking at the IP's other edits, it looks like intentional mischief TEDickey (talk) 22:26, 19 August 2017 (UTC)

According to the homepage: JOE does not have these features (yet): and Native Windows version (but you can use JOE in Cygwin). TEDickey (talk) 22:32, 19 August 2017 (UTC)

It's part of the JOE's official project and not someone else's irrelevant port. The JOE's homepage is subdomain, based on SourceForge. The "Project page" anchor redirects directly to JOE's project repository where the quote can be found as description and in the "README.md" of "files/JOE for Windows":

JOE for Windows is a native port of Joe's Own Editor. Unlike the Cygwin version, it is written (more-or-less) directly against the Windows API and does not need a large, external compatibility layer. It is compiled with the standard Microsoft compiler and has no external dependencies. Changes were made to better integrate JOE into a Windows environment, such as a more Windows-friendly file layout and mouse support. Other additions include drag-and-drop, clipboard integration and color schemes.
— https://sourceforge.net/projects/joe-editor/files/JOE%20for%20Windows/

There is installation setup, binary executable and source code which can be used to further confirm the quotation.

In short, Joe writes code but doesn't bother to provide useful documentation (the point being of course is that it's not the proper role of Misplaced Pages editors to construct documentation for the topic from bits and pieces, but to refer to documentation - see WP:OR to see where your changes fit in). TEDickey (talk) 00:48, 21 August 2017 (UTC)

JOE's homepage, you are referring, is an index for any further navigation. The documentation can be found following the anchor provided on it. The documentation includes all the details for confirmation that there is native Windows version. Additionally, according to JOE's changelog following the "Release Notes" anchor on the homepage native Windows version is available from version 3.8 on 22 March 2015, thanks to John J. Jordan (one of the project developers). Please refer to the documentation for any other questions you might have.
