RE: [avr-gcc-list] Next version of winavr!!!

[Ron Kreymborg]

I appreciate you can't bundle this solution with WinAVR, but for those who
can afford a few dollars, IMO a better editor is Ultraedit
(www.ultraedit.com). If you include uemakeXp (www.uemake.com) (which already
has a WinAVR interface), you have an exceptional development IDE.
