I've been playing around with SeaSide tutorials, using the class browser and

"application" for editing code, or can I get hold of a better generic editor
component that can be dropped in to replace the one the browser and
workspace are using?

What exactly are you missing?

If you install Shout and eCompletion then there's syntax highlighting
and auto-completion,
Beyond that, your methods should be short enough that there's not a
whole lot of need for most of the features of a text editor like Emacs
or Vim...

That's not to say that there isn't room for improvement, but so far I
have personally not found much lacking, and I am used to using Vim and
Eclipse for development.
About the only issue I've found is that tab won't indent selected
lines - it just replaces them with a tab.

Stuart
