It’s not very 1337, but I have an enduring fondness for jEdit. A bit of a memory hog, but it’ll handle most any language I throw at it on the three main OS platforms, and I really appreciate some of the features and plugins available. (Split buffer panels to die for, FTP plugin very useful.)

I’m pretty sure XML-RPC doesn’t require a browser, although it does operate over HTTP using XML, if that’s what you mean? (Although I guess you might be able to call anything operating over HTTP a browser…) There are a bunch of client implementations for it in many different programming languages, and it’s what the weblog clients use. Unless those aren’t considered external applications?

I think I may be confused–feel free to enlighten me, I’m kind of new at this board.
