After many years of casual tinkering, I still use an old modified
version of ASED (http://www.mms-forum.de/ased/asedhome.htm)...
that started as a French version of it, then branched off as EDITT
(http://wfr.tcl.tk/222)
My personal version is a re-translated (to English) version of Editt
1.04, slightly enhanced as a personal exercise to include optional line
numbering and a very simplistic project manager.
The advantage I see is that it is itself a pure Tcl/Tk application (my
version consists of one script only), and therefore should run similarly
on all platforms. I run it on Windows but have used it on IRIX, AIX and
Linux a few years ago.
I just saw that development for both seem to have stopped but I think
they still have value, especially for someone starting to learn Tcl.
Or I might be just be stuck in my old ways...

I use gvim now, but long ago I used the editor in TkDesk, which had a
feature I still miss: When you searched for something, matching lines
were shown in a new window, and clicking on one jumped the main window
to that line. Does any other editor have that? Last time I tried running
TkDesk under Mac OS X, it didn't work.

Actually, both Ased and Editt have this feature, which lets you enter a
search string, a directory location and file extension filter.
All files with the extension (for example .tcl) are searched and the
matched results are displayed in the same search window. Selecting any
line opens the file and jumps to the corresponding line.
