Which JASS IDE are you using?

This is going out to all JASSers.
I'd like to know which programs you currently use to write your code.
If your tool is not in the selection, simply write a reply.
If you could also post the reasons for your preference, that would be great.

I've been using JassCraft since the beginning.

Jass Shop Pro! Downloaded it a while back and never saw much reason to change; it has all the functions included so I can look em up, it capitalizes things for me, and it tabs over for me. That's really all I need. Oh, and it has pretty colors of course.

I'm using JassCraft. It has a lot of useful functions, everything I need.
I like how the explorer where you can search for natives, functions and constants displays the full code of, for example, a function, instead of just the arguments. That saves some time.

I also like that the UI in JC is so easy to change, I can hide all the parts I never need. I have disliked other editors for wasting a lot of space on 'worthless' things, things that I never used.

I like how you can create your own highlighting color-themes, and tabs are also great.

But I do not use JC all the time. I only use JassCraft for bigger things (and code with errors), simple edits and jass triggers I make directly in the WE.

Before the new version of JassCraft was released (and stable) I used UltraEdit-32 and a few times Notepad++, but I mostly use JassCraft now.

Meh, I can't stand the WE, the text is all the same color and looks so ugly =P. But anyways, I usually put all of mine into Jass Shop Pro just so I have the final version of it all in one place, so that if I want to go make a big change to something I'll know where the final version of the trigger is. I guess your way works too though, now that I think about it ^^.

vim because it has
- Syntax coloring
- Paren matching
- Macro power. ggVG"+y
- a touch typed UI. Don't have to grab mouse and no M-x C-x nonsense.

JassCraft, its bugged but its better than anything else out there. Jass Shop Pro had some really annoying problem which forced me to switch.

i still use ultraedit32, is this not the preferred environ of choice? I really use it mostly for parens highlighting (all though i'm no longer in my scheming days of (car (cdr (cdr (car ...))))))))))))))))))

Notepad++ on XP or Kate on kubuntu, both have everything I need (code folding, paren highlighting and regular expressions)

I use the normal WE to do all my JASS.

I can't memorize all the functions and I need to go back and forth from working on the terrain and object data quickly and efficiently. I am on a triple monitor setup, so it's quite easy for me to do so. I have JassCraft, but I only use it as a Syntax Checker for when WE gives me crazy syntax errors that make no sense.

I can memorize how I structure everything, so I don't need anything to be organized in any of my code such as highlighting or heirarchial code structure.

Jasscraft. There is still an option missing in it that JSP had (searching functions/variables by arguement types), but that hasn't been a major problem.

JassCraft - It just feels like it's made for me.

Same here.

Nobody should do that. You should at least use notepad. Look, if WE crashes it is easier to recover the code you were writing instead of having to do mpq tricks with the temp folder

Not to mention WE's stupid limitations as a text editor
