Carbon Emacs Editor's Review

'Carbon Emacs' is a text editor that uses the Carbon framework.

This editor is based on Emacs, which is a text mode editor. Emacs has been developed by the Free Software Foundation and is one of the components of the GNU operating system. Emacs can be found in Mac OS X as a text editor.

This text editor is usually used by developers. It provides syntax highlighting for various programming languages. I think only jEdit can be compared with Carbon Emacs, when it comes to the supported programming languages.

With this editor, working with a graphical interface is a little easier than working with a command line interface. Carbon Emacs improves the usability of the original text editor.

Pluses: It has great support for syntax highlighting. It can be easily used and it's faster than similar applications, such as jEdit or mi.

Drawbacks / flaws:

In conclusion: This is one of the best graphical text editors that can be used for coding under Mac OS X. The support for various formats confirms the true power of this tool.
