Features I want in a text editor (/IDE)

  •  
  • Very reactive.
  • Integrates well in a Unix environment - you can run commands on files.
  • Scriptable. Like Emacs, but better.
  • Lets you edit files on networked machines (via ssh?).
  • Files presented as a directory tree on the side.
  • Can monitor files (e.g. log files).
  • Read-only mode for files.
  • SVN integration (i.e. being able to see older versions, svn blame, etc).
  • Java (+other programming language) aware:
    • Given a method name, you can see where it's defined.
    • Given a method name, you can see all callers of that method.
    • Given a filename and line number, you can click on the compile error to see that line number.
    •
