Hello dear community,
I've been coding some stuff in pawno for a couple of weeks and I would like to know if there's a better editor/compiler that I could use for a new SAMP server project I am working on. I've checked a list:

https://sampwiki.blast.hk/wiki/Scripting_Editors

but it seems most of these are unavailable or outdated. Could someone point me to a tool that gives better efficiency and higher flexibility as well as being powerful? Is pawno good for big gamemodes?

I'd stick to using Pawno. It's probably the best one imo

Pawno is a good editor for when you're learning function syntax. I especially like that all available functions are in a side menu.

Sublime Text, recently used it and just purchased a key.

It has syntax, if you search the forums you can find syntaxs for common plugins too

Should I use pawno for big gamemodes as well?
Does it have any problems following different functions used in a script?

I was thinking about Notepad++ but does it offer the same or better "handling" of the code than pawno?
Is atom better?

I figured someone would tlak about Sublime but it seems most people prefer Atom or Notepad++. I was thinking that maybe there was a better tool to use than pawno which is currently updated.

And that he will be working on Extreme Studio project but I don't know anymore than that, he actually stopped development until 10th of April it seems.

I use Sublime Text for everything, it's amazing. Atom is very similar to ST but has extended features for Revision Control (GitHub...). Example: Atom will tell you how many lines were added/deleted and edited, it will also tell which files in your project were pushed to the master branch.

So compared to Notepad++, Atom, Sublime, Pawno, which one do you prefer solely for scripting purposes?

Personal preference: Sublime Text.
