I see that the most recent thread about this was quite some time ago, and I'm guessing things have changed since then.

Could anyone recommend the 'best' (their favourite) IDE for DBP?

I only have the official one installed at the moment (Synergy), and it's really not too good - it gives me an error when I try saving project-less source files, and it doesn't support tabs (pretty ridiculous for something that claims to be a code editor).

I use Indigo. It has some flaws and crashes here and there, but it's by far one of the most versatile and full-of-features IDE for DBP right now.

I used to use CodeSurge, which is a highly stable IDE. I stopped using it at one point though because I found it was slow at typing longer lines of code.

I'm giving Indigo a go and it seems pretty decent! Thanks. It actually handles tabs properly and lets you save files, wow.

Nothing wrong with BASIC, my comment was in regards to other forms of BASIC. I know that DBPro has its userbase, but apart from that I'm not sure how popular the language (or rather, other dialects) is these days.

I have been using Indigo. It is all good except 1 thing I could not get it to do, which was to get it to load an include file from the option in the editor. It crashed every time. I had to load it from the program.

If I could use Notepad++ I would.

Here's a list of IDEs that I'm aware of:
