What's your Windows text editor of choice?

[raindog308]

I've used Notepad++ for a while.  It's good though I wish it had (a) vi key bindings, and (b) used the standard Windows 7 file dialog (so I could go to Dropbox/SkyDrive/Google Drive/etc. with one click).

I know there are vi clones for Windows...I keep meaning to check them out.  I like Notepad++'s tabbed interface and plugins.

Are there any other cool Windows text editors I'm missing out on?

Honestly I would stick with Notepad++ I've tried several others and nothing really compares to the simplicity of it.

I like sublime text, simplistic and easy to use - it offers a "Vintage mode" to use Vi bindings to control it, most of the power in sublime is with different key combos.

Edit: Oh, and it works on Linux too so the theme/fonts/settings can be cross platform.

The most "advanced" editor I use is notepad++


Never needed to try something else since it fit my needs.

I use EditPad Lite (there is a Pro version which is obviously paid). I'm not sure how it compares to Notepad++ but it may be worth checking out?

Notepad++ for life. Set WinSCP to use it instead of its default editor for extra goodness.

I use Notepad+, it's perfect!

SublimeText

I have tried many and I highly recommend SublimeText.

Is SublimeText really worth $70?

What is the learnign curve for sublimetext and how well does it work for everyday tasks? Might give it a try.

Notepad++

When stuck on Windows, I just use notepad for simple things.  Notepad++ for longer/more complex code.

Full on development?  Windows is out of the question.

Is SublimeText really worth $70?

Haha, damn... for that much it better add insightful commentary to the code for you >_>

Same with the horse.

Notepad if it's something quick but anything else is notepad++.

I've tried a lot of IDE's but I didn't like any of them. Maybe they work better

if you're not using codeigniter, but I felt they were clunky.

Ultraedit for me, and simple notepad for simpler things.

I love Ultra Edit http://www.ultraedit.com/products/uestudio.html Since I have used it for quite a few years now the investment seems worth it to me. Worth at least taking a look at the free trial.

Sublime for me!
