>About the best ever reST editor.

What I learned from this discussion so far is: people will probably
mostly use as editor what they are using anyway. Although I must say
that is pays out if you really invest some time to find out how to use
your editor best. But its a hard job and people will gladly accept
tips on how they can make their lives easier.

That's very good. Although I would say: Let's set up a web page for
this or a page in the Wiki. And in the example document just include a
pointer.

What we actually need is a "Editors: Features for ReST Matrix"

Most important feature for me: "Column Selection Mode". Is a K.O.
criterium for me. Other important features: Replace tabs by spaces,
un/indent marked lines by shift/tab, ability to join/split lines

>Are there any experience with reST Netbeans plugins?

I tried hard on Netbeans. Works, but is not my first choice.

>Shall I mention this Editra.org?

Yes, definitely. As I said: Opensource, capable, multiplatform, free
of costs and under development. Would be my recommendation to many
people if looking for an editor.

cu, Martin
