While a staunch user of vi when in the Linux side of the force, I've totally fallen in love with TextPad when I'm working in Windows. Some of the features that I find the most useful:
- Search/Replace capabilities
- Perl-like regex searching
- Bookmarking all matching lines
- Document Classes for different file extensions
- Color coding for keywords, constants, etc.
- Tabulation and paren/brace autocomplete
- General Editor features
- Block edit mode (allows you to select text in a block, rather than line by line)
- Ability to view whitespace characters
- Increase/Decrease indentation for select block of text
The only thing that TextPad doesn't have that I want is the ability to execute the perl that i'm editing in a command prompt.

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).
