Answer 4

Notepad ++

I really like Sublime Edit, and it works well, but (not very often) shows a Buy warning (not very annoying). You have to try! It can even do editing with many cursors, it has a cool fragment mechanism, it is very useful for combining projects Ctrl + P, etc.

Answer 5

I mainly use Notepad ++ and TextPad on Windows 7, and both of them work fine.

Answer 7

Well, always Emacs , which works great on Windows 7.

Beware, however: the user interface elements and keyboard shortcuts are completely different from everything you're used to from Windows (which is not surprising, since its origin is not in the Windows world). If this is good for you, you will be rewarded with one of the most powerful text editors in the world.

No matter what your code gets and makes you feel comfortable in the process! In the end, it's all a preference !: ^)

However, I liked the Sublime text for it has a nice graphical interface similar to TextMate on Mac (if that's where you came from). For a long time, an Emacs user, tired of having to perform every function that comes with a lot of text editors today ...

I will need to vote for Vim . He got a steep learning curve, but once you find out, you're curious how you ever coded without it.

Something is being reassured there for the whole modal way of doing things. It looks like your code is a structure that will be properly designed and designed, and not a set of letters that will be reset when you first sneeze.

Wow, this metaphor was a stretch, wasn't it.
