Notepad is the one I use for simple uses and crimson editor (google it) to get the line numbers, find and replace bla bla.

[rahulbatra]

gEdit is my personal favorite follwed by Kate then Vim.

[haveacigar]

editplus, but mainly because of the right click functionality..

[apollyonus]

I really dig vim. If you're wondering why, type vimtutor at your prompt. Another useful text editor is for the windows group is notepad++

[born2c0de]

ConText and vi for me.

[girasquid]

I always liked Smultron on a Mac, and I'll second Crimson Editor on a PC.

[Spider]

I use Crimson Editor, and nano when I have to unix it up.

[Chubber]

Although Notepad is fine, I use UltraEdit.

Basically you pay for what you get. And with Syntax colouring and being able to indent multiple lines, and a host of other things like temple macros. I don't know how I survived without it.

I programme in VFP and Delphi (both of which have very good IDE's - but I still ocassionally take the code into UltraEdit. It's searching is very good. Brings up a list of all instances - in context.

My brother! Ultraedit is the shiznit. I have been working on UE since version 2. It has solved so many problems for me that I can't live without it. Column editing, syntax highlighting for every language or file type under the sun, Hex edit, really large files (open a 3 gig DAT file? Sure.), macros, it does it all.

I use gedit when in gnome, and kate when in KDE, but I really don't have any preference, as long as it works.

[jwilhite]

I use phpDesigner

[fuzzyjello]

best editor for html and css is dreamweaver.

[skyhawk133]

best editor for html and css is dreamweaver.

Incorrect.

[capty99]

chris, give him points for having some conviction.

[Amadeus]

If he uses dreamweaver as a text editor, I'd hate to see the overhead on whatever he used for an IDE!

[Israel]

Windoze - Notepad++
Linux - Kwrite

[dazedstate]

I always liked Smultron on a Mac

Same here, Smultron is funky!

As for Windows, bleh windows.

[beef]

Its close between Vi and gEdit on linux, but on Windows textPad wins hands down.

[MrBobDobolina]

I too would have to say TextMate. At least for doing my web work.

[kaufman]

Well, id have to say my own text editor is my favorite. i made it so it automaticly saves it as a .php or .html or .aspx. and then i put on a launch button that opens the file as a html file.
it actually comes in handy.
