I have tried notepad++... works for me and is open source too.

Oooh, beat you by seconds

What's missing and what scripting language? A quick google will bring up hundreds of choices... Jujuedit, Notepad++, Crimson Editor, and ConTEXT are all worth looking at.

Another vote for Notepad++

I rip out notepad and replace it with metapad on machines I have.

I tend to use SciTE or Vi depending on what I'm up to.

If you want to be hardcore, go with Vim.

 

Vim for windows is perfectly good, but you do have to overcome a rather steep learning curve, I can't do without it these days though.

I prefer ConTEXT, but I get around a bit and Notepad++ runs from USB[1] which is good for hotfixing in the more traditional sense.

 

 

[1] Saves the config to a file rather than the registry.

Just to throw my 2 penneth in, I found a nice text editor called EmEditor which did the trick for me at the time - not saying that it is the best mind. It's nice to have options. I use vi on *nix mind but haven't tried the Windows port.

Love SciTE

 

What's the fascination with vi??

I use textpad for all my editing as you can have syntax highlighting, but that's probably a left over of my programming days when I used it for everything

They're just flashing their (ancient) geek credentials.
