What the topic says.

I am using Sakura for text editor normally, but it is not suited for source code editing.
I tried jEdit, EditPlus, NotePad++, UltraEdit, TextPad.
I personally prefer EditPlus, but not having EUC charset support is frustrating as many times I need a workspace for it. UltraEdit, TextPad and NotePad++ share this problem. Only jEdit can. But what I don't like about jEdit is that it is pretty memory hog and I just don't like java based application too much.

So what do you think? I'm looking for a good source code editor, please try recommending me some or just say what editor is your favorite. Thanks.

My favourite is KDE's Kate (http://files.pastesite.com/kate.png). It has all the stuff I want, syntax highlighting, brace matching, a decent file browser for open documents, a terminal, splits (so you can edit more than one file simultaneously, or copy things across easily). That isn't going to be stable on Windows for a while yet though, so it probably doesn't apply to you.

Notepad++ was what I used when I had Windows.

I use Notepad++. I find that it is the best one I've used so far.
It's nice and simple but has some good features in it.
Especially have 2 bits of code in 2 windows side by side, that's handy at times.

I second that, though I do like vim in some instances, though it takes a while to get used to.

Wow, everyone seems to use Notepad++, not a wonder though since it is free and open source.

I have the Japanese version of VIM, but I do think the software is not user-friendly. A bit confusing in my opinion.

I've tried some Japanese free source code editor, but the features and functionality not as good.

Thanks for the ConTEXT, I am trying it and it doesn't seem to support EUC, but this software seems pretty neat though...

Dreamweaver. It has great syntax highlighting, special colors for php functions, a quick reference guide, and a great file management listing that makes ftp so simple you don't even notice it's going on. It's great for suggesting code to beginners and speeding up production/highlighting errors to experts. There's also tag collapsing and an html validator.

I do not like Dreamweaver because when I use Dreamweaver MX, sometimes it change my HTML code without my permission. And Dreamweaver is a bit heavy, I like small source code editor which I also can use for normal txt files.

I now stick with EditPlus, I found out how to use EditPlus to work with EUC.

I always like using Dreamweaver. Sometimes Notepad++ (for my flash extensions)..

but for me.. Dreamweaver is the best! for HTML nor PhP. ^^

Kate, Notepad++, and Araneae all work well in my experience.

Textmate anyone? Auto closing tags / quotes, parenthesis, collapsing of tags / blocks of code, parenthesis/bracket/html tag auto find-the-partner of? (Kinda hard to explain)...

I just use Notepad++. As Doug16 said, it's nice and simple but with some nice features.

I used Notepad for years to do basically everything I did... Including looong PHP websites...
So when I went on Ubuntu, and used gedit I was so spoiled. gedit's probably my favorite editor, but for windows, the closest thing I could find was Notepad++, so that's my recomendation.

I use Emacs for all my file editing... It's a free, open-source editor with many features, originally programmed for GNU, but now works on Windows, as well.

i've just recently got notepad++ again.. and its awesome.

PHP Designer 2008 - Great peice of software, With plenty of usefull features.

because of this post i tried notepad++ and i admit its pretty cool, it doesnt take ages to load so its fast, i like the idea of opening 2 3 4 5 files at the same time where you can copy past codes from one to an other easy... i like the icons turning red or blue if saved or not..

i recently used the ctrl-f / replace by, i had around a thousand line script where i puted a word in front of each line and i tryed the remove all and it saved me some time...

i must admit its a really cool program, better than what i use to use... wordpad...

I use PSPad editor...

It's got alot of good features, has coding for virtually every scripting language I've ever heard of (myself) and you can edit your site via FTP instantly.

Double click the page you want to edit, edit it with highlighting and all, and then hit ctrl+s to save it... Simple as that. No need to edit and then go into your FTP client and upload it. It's all automatic.

I've heard a lot about PSPad, guess I'll try it out.

i use dreamweaver and its awesome!

http://www.blumentals.net/rapidphp/ I love this program so much.

simple notepad and sometimes textedit. rarely will i use a program like dreamweaver because i cant find a good one thats free

Araneae. It's not as complex as notepad++, and has quite a few useful functions

Under Windows: Notepad.exe...
But when Hex Editing is needed, then Notepad++ 's plugin is handy

Under Linux: vim or pico

I use Notepad all of the time.. I've used Serif Web Plus 10 before hand. Pretty funky in my opinion.

How can people say they use notepad and get serious work done? It only has one undo. You can honestly say you don't need to undo more than once? Also, syntax highlighting and suggesting are such nice features. Dreamweaver's built in file manager/ftp cut time down dramatically. Hitting ctrl-s is much nicer than saving and then switching to an ftp program to upload each change.

We all have our devised ways. Leave us be.
What do you do first: Pour the cereal or pour the milk?

And hitting ctrl+s and saving it to the htdocs of your local dev server is even better.

Built-in FTP isn't a necessity. I would say that syntax highlighting, brace matching etc are though - particularly when using a language which must be compiled. Waiting for five minutes just to be told you made some stupid syntax error which shows up in highlighting isn't fun. Pretty much the entire industry has moved to IDE's for the obvious advantages they provide over tools like notepad.

I really really prefer RapidPHP (the link I posted earlier) but a nice free editor I haven't seen posted is HTML-Kit
Make sure you grab the free version, they also have a paid version, But I can't really tell what exactly the paid version provides that the free version doesn't. And both html editors I said here have all the features of say Dreamweaver, Minus the WYSIWYG editor, but I can't use that mode because it just messes stuff up horribly.
