Like many code editors, ConTEXT has been designed to be pretty non-specific. In fact it’s quite lean – it weighs in quiet light in the Mb front but also in the features. All the usuals are there though, including line numbers, syntax highlighting, etc. The GUI is quite basic, looking like a product 10 years older than it really is.
It has a nice explorer bar at the side for file selection and – importantly – has Project facilities but without forcing you to use them. Nice.
The website is detailed, with FAQs and a forum.
Launching in different browsers can be defined by setting up some user-defined keys. These can also be executed by some icons on the toolbar. 4 are available in total and the set-up is quite powerful (compared to most other editors).
Summary of ConTEXT
A nice clean, if a little old-fashioned looking editor. This could compete to be my editor of choice.
