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.

[...] Intype : Intype is a really good lightweight text editor for Windows. The interface of Intype is just like the one for TextMate for OS X so it works really well and keeps things simple, easy and tidy. Intype has been around since its first alpha release back in January 2007 and is now on alpha version 3. Read more here. [...]

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

Another thing I like about Notepad++ is that it is available as a portable application, meaning you can take it anywhere and run it off of any media you want (USB flash drive, SD card, portable HDD, etc) without leaving behind any traces on the local machine. This is handy when you want all your tools with you wherever you go, or even if you simply just want to try it out (without actually installing anything). The portable version is available from here .
