Wich editor to use for VHDL?

free vhdl editor

Hello everyboby,

before a couple of years I set up XEmacs(with vhdl-mode) to use it for writing my VHDL code. I was satisfied with the performance I had for the money that I had spend, that is zero money(GNU lincenced). I was wondering if there are other options and diferent editors to write VHDL, that they also offer the ability to write C/C++ and other programming languages. I tried to check vi, but I didn't find anything for VHDL. I would really like to know:

what you are using?

why you are using it?

if you are planning to migrate to something else?

Thank you in advance.

I use ALDEC editor. Probably it was easy to use, and I was able to make simply simulations.

vhdl editor free

Most modern simulators (modelsim, aldec, etc) have syntax coloring, which is very helpfull. On the other hand, Emacs is free but you can not do many thing with a VHDL description if you do not at least simulate it. So, my point is that a VHDL editor alone is not very helpful while when you buy a bigger environment you will get enough editing support!

It very much depends on your working environment. As far as I am
concerned, I am using Unix VI, and I am very happy with it.

Emacs is also a good choice.

I use ConTEXT (https://www.context.cx) because it is free and you can use it for Verilog, VHDL and many other languages.

An other also free editor is Scriptum (https://www.hdlworks.com).

CodeWright from premia corporation is certainly the best.

I prefer to write VHDL codes using ISE/Foundation software, because:
1) it is free and download is available on xilinx website.
2) it has lots of vhdl ready to use template
