Ainsi parlait Steve Shattuck : [..]

Guillaume commented that he's "always surprised seeing people recommend using proprietary stuff" in response to my suggestion of using Microsoft's XML Notepad (which, by the way, is actually free). The point I was trying to make was that XML can get complicated very quickly and using an XML view (of any sort) is better than using a text editor. Nothing more.

'Free' in free software refers to freedom, not price (think free speech, not free beer). XML Notepad is freeware (currently), not free software. I think distinction here is really important.

And about the utility of a dedicated xml editor vs a text editor, it is defenitively a question of personal taste. It all depends of the editor, the ease you have with it, etc... As a die-hard vim-user, i never found any specialized xml editor which allowed so many functionalities. -- Guillaume Rousse rousse@ccr.jussieu.fr GPG key http://lis.snv.jussieu.fr/~rousse/gpgkey.html
