Favorite text editor?

[mugs]

What do you guys use as a text editor? The best I've found so far is EditPlus... I use it for all of my coding (except in MS languages) and web design/PHP. Anyone use anything that you think is better?

Wow... do you people who use notepad not do a lot of text editing? I mean, I use notepad to write myself a reminder or something, but I could never code or anything like that in notepad...

Emacs?! ViM I can handle...

Ultra Edit. My year subscription expired right after 10.0 came out.

I use jed. It's smaller than nvi and is easier to use.

Edit: I guess a link would be nice, huh?

I generally just use NotepadEx for the basic text stuff I do

a friend of mine loved notetab for text/html editing.

Most of the time I use PHPEd; for quicky stuff I use EditPad Pro.

If you're doing a lot of work in PHP, I suggest you check out PHPEd along with the associated Technology Platform, which will install Apache, PHP, phpMyAdmin, MySQL and Perl already preconfigured on your box so you can run your scripts with database functions.

Or, if you like working in EditPlus or whatever other editor, install the latest version of PHP and then use a little server proggy called BadBlue to run your scripts but without the database.
