Dudes, I just found another one that is very lightweight, installs in seconds and seems to be a bit better than Notepad2 or Notepad++.

There is only one editor for doing serious text editing: Vi/Vim

There is absolutely *no* handholding, and that's its blessing and its curse. If you can get past the learning curve, it's fantastic.
That, and for a touch typist, you *never* have to pull your hands off the keyboard; all functionality is at your fingertips, no mousing through menus (though you can if you want).

For the unbelievers: http://www.viemu.com/a-why-vi-vim.html

The only problem I have with it, is there's not a Dvorak-friendly keyboard layout. If you go to dvorak, the "arrow" keys get scattered.

i use crimson editor, beacuse it highlights a lot of languages and its very light.
i like it because i use it for almost everything, so when i'm dealing with html, javascript, css, php, mysql at the same time, i can work with all of them in the same editor.
but when i have to focus on html and css, i use dreamweaver and edit the php code there too.

its for windows and its free!
