Whats your favorite Text Editor?

[leedogg]

Mine is currently Notetab which provides a tabbed interface and tons of features.

I also have a second one I use called editpad. Also tabular however it doesnt remember the last open tabs. I use this as the default txt editor and notetab as my main workbook.

Agree with xsiv 🙂

 

[Khayman]

EditPlus and TextPad (only for Java) (EditPlus is better)

Notepad is just ugly

 

[LeeJend]

I agree with everyone. 🙂

Notepad is just plain ugly and feature poor, but I use it 99% of the time. 🙄

 

[Gus K]

EditPad Lite.

It all depends on the purpose you're using it for. I definitely don't use Notepad while programming (I do use it for PHP coding though).
But for some quick plain-text editing, I love its simplicity. There's always WordPad if you want more rich-text features, but I almost never use that.

Man what if you guys come across a massive file? How could you not use a tabbed editor? use wild card search/replaces?

BSD's ee [easy editor] is the best CLI editor, I use VIM on linux. Graphical text editor on *nix, I like KWrite the best [syntax highlighting is key, helps you see a missing quote]. I use notepad on XP, I just wish it had a line/column number in the status bar.

Notepad 😎

On Windows ... UltraEdit

On BSD .. ee. It has some quirks though and can't see some characters that vi normally would

On Linux ... elvis or nano
