Hello,

I'm looking for editors and IDE as extensible, customizable and opened as
Eclipse, HTML-Kit or jEdit.

Websites :
- Eclipse : http://www.eclipse.org/
- HTML-Kit : http://www.chami.com/html-kit/
- jEdit : http://www.jedit.org/

Software descriptions and features :
- Eclipse : ? Eclipse is a kind of universal tool platform - an open
extensible IDE for anything and nothing in particular. ?
- HTML-Kit : ? Over 350 free plugins are available for extending and
customizing HTML-Kit to fit the way you work. ?
- jEdit : ? Built-in macro language; extensible plugin architecture. Dozens
of macros and plugins available. ?

Only Eclipse and jEdit are opened, but they're all extensible, so
customizable. Many other softwares try to be as extensible and opened, in
some way, as the Eclipse Project :
- Macromedia Dreamweaver : You can easily develop JavaScript extensions to
extend this famous WYSIWYG HTML editor but as it's not 100% extensible, you
can't do the ? anything and nothing in particular ? of Eclipse.
- Adobe Photoshop : Since CS you can extend this image editing software,
before only a SDK was provided.
- Discreet 3D Studio Max : You can extend this 3d graphics software both
using MAXScript and the SDK. However there are things you can do with the
SDK that you can't do with MAXScript (3dsmax 3).
...

I discovered Eclipse a few years ago and since then I only found a few tools
as impressive as it. The first was HTML-Kit, hundreds of plugins, supports
many scripting languages but there're some limitations and the project has
not been updated for a long time now. A few weeks ago, I discovered jEdit
while searching for an alternative to my buggy Notetab Light, a powerful
text editor. I don't know everything about it yet but it's one of the most
well polished and designed software I have ever seen.

I know a few extensible softwares, graphics tools, programming editors or
IDE... But I still believe there are some great extensible softwares I don't
know, not yet. Maybe there's even an Eclipse killer :).
