Text Editors with CL syntax aides

[xibalba]

Are there any GUI text editors with support for parenthesis matching, indenting (just to keep things pretty), and syntax highlighting for Common Lisp? The only thing I found with parenthesis matching is Axe 6.1.2-15.1.

And would it be productive to annoy the different open source CL implementations into allowing options for something besides emacs? Because I'd really like something like Leafpad for interactively screwing around with CL.

Well, there is LispIDE http://www.daansystems.com/lispide/ which is very basic, but does what you want.

None of the CL implementations require using emacs; its just that Slime has put more effort into supporting them than other editors have.

ABLE is a basic GUI editor that works with several free implementations.

Really, any editor that has a framework for stream I/O could interoperate with a free CL implementation. Something like Slime's Swank protocol is only needed if you want stuff like interactive stack traces, tab completion, and function documentation.

If you like shining colorful editors, there is Cusp, a plugin for Eclipse.

I highly recommend Cream (apt-get install cream)

It's a customized install of Gvim and it's wonderful. It has everything I need and so much more.

That being said, I only want syntax highlighting and par edit, but I'm sure it could do more in capable hands, it is vim underneath, after all!
