Best hex editor

[A. Daniel King_1]

Opinion time!

What is the best hex/binary editor out there? GNU and GPL are viewed favorably! Some examples can be found here:

I've never had a problem with hexedit although you must also install ncurses to run it. The user interface is simple and it does everything I need it to do.

1. Elvis (ftp://ftp.cs.pdx.edu/pub/elvis/unreleased/)
2. Data (mine, not publicly available)

"data" cannot insert, only modify and search. Advantage is that you can also use it on /dev/mem :))

I could make it available if someone likes it

I think I'm going to like hexedit just fine.
