I've used vi on unix and brief on a PC over a long time, but Qedit on MPE
stands out as having the best productivity gains for most of the code I
work on (Powerhouse, Pascal, Cobol, CI). However, I would like to see
Qedit enhanced to provide more C support - and matching {} and begin/end
would be great (it would help Pascal, and PH of course, too). Robelle: keep up
the good work. BTW - we will be considering purchasing Qedit/ux very soon.
I always wished for Qedit on a PC - now of course it would have to be a
Windows product...
