Editplus for windows.. never got used to vim’s user interface so I use emacs on linux. Editplus, when used right, makes your code really readable. What I’m saying is, it is not the best out there to write code with (no support for code writing other than syntax highlighting) but it sure is one of the best to open up a source and read through it.

I always use vim; it runs on all platforms I have to work on, it does what I want.

Aptana is available as a free community open source edition that you never have to pay for. Also I believe that you can configure it “on a stick” so that you can carry it on a portable device.

As a dev, I’ve used the latter two, and while good, they aren’t great. The one I’ve stuck with for years now is PsPad. With a built in FTP client, it allows you to edit remote pages as if they’re local. It’s also got nearly every other feature you could ever want in a text editor. Give it a try, it’s free. http://www.pspad.com
