I like to use quanta plus since you can change code highlighting for various languages very fast and can edit all the different files for use on the web.

If you're going to be recommending editors please give a link to where they can be downloaded and/or purchased from. Some indication of which platforms they are available for and what makes them special would probably be nice for the other people reading this thread too.

Technically notepad is not free, you have to buy windows to be able to get it...

Since this is the thread that won't die, I'll toss in my 2 Republic Dahktaris.

I just started using a couple of days ago and editor named Anjuta (para LInux!). It's designed specifically for C/C++ developers, but I'm doing a lot of PHP in it. But jet this! I through a VB source file at it and it opened it WITH HIGHLIGHTING and recognition of all methods and vars. I was stunned!

Anyways, there is full debugger support with the step into, step through, step out options, bookmarks, classes, methods, and functions are kept in a list in a toolbar for easy navigation too, uses folds for managing code blocks, capable of doing search and replace across multiple files, a terminal option in the project window (DOS prompt for you Windows guys), and so on and so on. It's really one of the best free IDE's i've yet seen. And trust me, there are more customizaion opens then those mentioned above.

This just might be what finally knocks CoolEdit off it's throne for me.

And for Twig (I love ya girl!), the url is anjuta.sourceforge.net.

Cheers,
BDKR

http://anjuta.sourceforge.net/picture_corner/anjuta.png - I love the feature that has the lines on each side of the functions, that tell you how long the function goes down. 8)
