Comment on “Code Editors” by purple_dj
My mind started in "Obviously, because..." and then stalled. But I was able to come up with some items:
It's very helpful for Python since indenting controls blocks and it would be more difficult to interpret (but not impossible) without it.
It's useful in embedded work when defining (arrays of) constant strings that need a certain length since I can look at all of them and quickly compare lengths.
It's useful for editing in general when I want to do a column-select or column-insert with Slickedit (and I bet emacs has a similar feature since it has every feature somewhere...).
