Cool topic.

For many years, I would write all of my code in notepad and paste it into Threshold through ed. That worked pretty well for a long time. I'd boot up my PC, open 4-8 instances of notepad, tile them, and go to work.

5 or 6 years ago, I started using UltraEdit and that made things a little better.

But about 2 years ago I started using WinSCP to download/upload all my files through ssh directly to the machine. This is even better, faster, and in a lot of ways more convenient. Every few days or so I completely overwrite my "workspace" file-for-file copy of the mudlib to make sure I have any changes made by any other developers.
