I use vim or sometimes gvim along with ctags. There are couple of
plugins in vim - project, fortran indentation, fortran syntax
highlighting which make your life easier.
I feel that vim is well equipped with all the tools for C programming
than fortran. You need to spend initial couple of hours to customize the
settings and stuff. For example, to get the syntax highlighting for
newly created.f90 files, you need to add couples lines into .vimrc etc.,
The vim community is not much active when it comes to fortran. But since
I know vim pretty well, I stuck with it instead of learning a new editor
(like emacs).
If you are starting new, I suggest go directly to x-emacs if you have
good memory (you need to rememeber all those nifty shortcuts). If you
want intuitive key bindings then go for vim. I personally feel that
trying out different things and then choosing one is a time consuming
effort. Choose one and stick with it. Both have good and bad features.
Both are quite powerful and can accomplish almost any complicated
editing job.
The other editors such as nedit, pico etc., might be good for starting
programming. But if you plan to do a lot of programming in linux, either
vim or emacs is the way to go..
