I wish there was a split view option.
There is? Just drag a tab to the side or the bottom.

#32Pretty annoying that I can't even try out e2 as I've had my licensed copy of e installed for longer than the trial period.

Ran into this myself. I moved my license key (in your user's AppData\Roaming\e directory, filename "license_key") out of the way, then it gave me 30 days to try it out, but YMMV.

#34I don't see significant enough improvements to make this a 2.0 release.

#35Alternate headline: Textmate clone beats Textmate to version 2. This was pretty much my text editor of choice when I had to use a Windows box.
In other news, Chrome, a Firefox clone, has beaten Firefox to version 4, and also to version 5... ... Or maybe, just maybe, comparing version numbers across different programs is completely useless.
I dislike admitting that Chrome is a lot faster than Firefox in some useful ways.
One useful way I ran into is with 2000+ svg objects in a custom UI.
SVG + Javascript is a fantastic platform for user interfaces, in my experience... compared to both HTML divs / css /js and also Cocoa native.
Please google, turn on svg in Android...

#36Maybe I'm missing something -- I write PHP files with HTML sections - and often CSS sections in HTML. I can't figure out how to get true multi-language highlighting working. Does anyone else have this working?
If I choose HTML as the document type, I can style some PHP elements - but CSS in particular is just standard foreground-on-background...
Otherwise, this looks like a replacement for PSPad, which is my current choice.

Well, E was inspired heavily by Textmate and IIRC the author of Textmate was involved a bit:

#38I wonder how the "open company" thing turned out:

since it looks like this new version is closed again.

#39How is Intype compared to e2 now?

#40Earlier quoted context omitted.
I can't imagine a situation where this functionality would be useful. Can you give an example?
When I get some time, I'll write it up more fully with some screencasts. For now, I'll try explaining: the way I think of it is, it lets you do the exact same thing as macros, except live. Macros in vim/emacs/others are often touted as a great feature, and they are. In vim for example, formatting a huge column of, say, html text involves formatting one row using the proper keyboard commands, then repeating the action…
Hey...
got it running on my linux (with wine)
pretty slick... and yes, as a long time vim user, I think the feature will be very useful. although I don't think it's a macro replacement, macro still better for some use case. vim has visual block selection that can do similar thing, but not as powerful as this multicursor thing.
