NEdit is a multi-purpose text editor for the X Window System, which combines a standard, easy to use, graphical user interface with the thorough functionality and stability required by users who edit text eight hours a day. It provides intensive support for development in a wide variety of languages, text processors, and other tools, but at the same time can be used productively by just about anyone who needs to edit text. NEdit, which is entirely a volunteer effort, benefits from a strong developer and user community. As of version 5.1, NEdit may be freely distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License.

NEdit was originally developed on a Unix system at Fermi National Laboratory in Batavia, Illinois for the world-wide high-energy physics community and is available on all major Unix, Linux, and Posix operating systems. NEdit can be built from source and run on just about any platform if there is a working X Window environment available.

  I have been using NEdit for over 15 years now. It is a light-weight, but heavy-duty text editor that provides intelligent contextual highlighting for just about any programming language and environment, including Makefiles and shell scripts. It is the first application that I install or build on any system that I set up, including Windows systems. It has just about the best regular-expression based search/replace functionality of any editor I have used, including emacs. The ability to highlight any file name in any window of the system and "yank" it into the editor with a single key press is just one of the features that makes it so powerful. I love it - cut my arm off, but don't take away my NEdit! :-)
