Best Linux Programming Application


Recommended Posts

I've started using Kubuntu 7.04 and I'm looking for a programmers opinion on the best programming tool for Linux. I'm looking to program PHP, Javascript, and of course do some web design. My favorites under Windows are Microsoft Expression Web and PHPEdit, I realize that I probably won't get anything near Expression Web under linux and that's fine.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

My problem with Kedit, Kate, BlueFish and Quanta is that none of them have a real autocomplete: start typing a tag and it offers list of suggestions, type an attribute and it offers that in for the context, and variables and functions in PHP or other languages.

That is a nice feature, but not absolutely necessary. Gedit and Kate both look more like text editors anyway.

they are. the reason people showed those shots is because most people use text editors instead. Like in windows i write my C programs and html pages in notepad2. so in linux i use gedit.

I understand that, I only said it because he listed them with BlueFish and Quanta when he said he wanted the tag autocompleting feature. :)

    • This was cool back in the day when done properly - loved having icons of specific devices.
    • Microsoft quietly burying a massive Windows 7 hardware driver feature as Windows 11 kills it by Sayan Sen Last month Microsoft announced a big update for Windows hardware drivers. The company declared that it was killing Windows Device metadata and the Windows Metadata and Internet Services (WMIS). For those wondering what it is, device metadata, as the name suggests, is the collection of additional, user-facing information that an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) provides about a hardware device. The feature was introduced with Windows 7 and can include stuff like icons, logos, descriptive texts, among other things, that help the Windows UI display details about such devices in places like Task Manager or Device Manager. This was a huge deal back in the day when Windows 7 debuted. The company called the feature "Device Stage" and Microsoft described it as a "new visual interface" that essentially worked like a "multi-function version of Autoplay where it displays all the applications, services, and information related to your device." It is often considered synonymous with the Windows "Devices and Printers" Control Panel applet. Neowin did an in-depth overview of the feature when it first launched which you can find in its dedicated article here. The Windows OS was able to obtain the device experience metadata from the WMIS, but now that the feature is being deprecated, Microsoft has begun removing information about Device Stage from its official support documents. Neowin noticed while browsing that a support article regarding automatic Windows hardware drivers was updated for Windows 11 and 10 sometime last year after the release of Windows 11 24H2. Previously, this article was geared for Windows 7 and was much longer. It also contained information about Device Stage, which, as mentioned above, was a headlining feature on Windows 7. In the said article, the section "If Windows can't find information about your device in Device Stage" has been deleted. You can find the archived version of the support page here. Aside from shortening the amount of information on the page, Microsoft has also added some more details on it. The company has now tried to define what the Microsoft Basic Display Adapter is, how updating drivers through Device Manager works, as well as a thorough and detailed troubleshooting section for common hardware driver errors on Windows, including one for USB-C. You can find all the new details on the updated support page here on Microsoft's website.
    • Sounds creepy to say the least. Don't need nor want AI having access to my history. They're claiming it to be an "offline" model now, but how can we guarantee they don't go behind our backs and change that?
    • Exactly! Without those fundamentals you've mentioned, Democracy is literally just Demonstration of Crazy, nothing to be proud of in such system.
    • Still I see almost no ads in mobile Edge unlike Chrome. So their browser is much better at blocking ads than Chrome and it is a fact. It even blocks ads on YouTube and you can add simple custom block filters. Also, Edge still support manifest v2 on desktop, so I'll look for another browser when I start seeing ads again.
