Having to work on Windows machines most of my time, I got very comfortable with UltraEdit. Of course it's a shame that this software is not free, but its features and usability may outweigh that.

Most of all, I enjoy defining my own key commands - you don't have to learn the editor - the editor learns from you! Same with user defined macros or even languages. I've never felt lacking a feature with this one, instead there are so many small functions to make your work easier, like "add/remove indents", multiple clipboards etc.

OK, the internal DIFF doesn't work quite well and the internal regexes are nothing to perls, but you can quickly use DOS commands to avoid these.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
