I edit in notepad, but say, for a page with alot of tables, doesn't matter the extension. The background color for each cell is #555555, if i want to change it, in notepad i can go to everyline in change it, but wordpad has the wonderful "replace all" feature.
The perfect answer is metapad, it is exactly the same as notepad except with those couple of features added. It also loads in less than a second which is great for doing real quick editing
i never upgraded context after 0.96.3 because of all the bug complaints but that version seems to work fine for me. if anyones wants it AIM me and i'll be happy to send.
For windows I have always like UltraEdit-32 , just add the highlighten for php,mysql, and html.. its great.. least in opinion.. Now for linux I havent had any to try yet, just been using Pico.. would like to find a good fast Xwindows one at some point.. on the console Pico does everything i need..

Programs dont need the flashy toolbars. We just need Pull down menus, with a goto line, and a Ctrl+S feature.
It's free. I put a lot of effort to program it, as I needed it.
No debugging (yet) and some other cool stuff, but you could be surprised with simplicity, speed and usability.
