on linux it's VIM all the way

for windows check out Textpad. It doesn't do syntax highlight, but has a warm start feature i've grown to love. basically, it will save the set of files i'm working on so i can shutdown and next time i start it up it pulls up all the files i was working with with all their clipboards and undo histories intact.

    i use vim on linux and textpad on windows and textpad DOES do syntax highlighting you just have to create it fairly simple just look for it

      i guess you're right. just found it...but i hate syntax editing. i never looked for it and therefore never knew it was there. also, i use an older version 3.2.5; maybe it's more apparent in the newer ones?

        My version of TexPad (version 4) came bundled with the perl syntax file. If yours doesn't have it, it's also available for download from their site. TextPad is simply the best general purpose text-editor for Windows that I've ever seen. For specialzied purposes this is not true (example: Homesite is much better for HTML).

    Wrong, it does syntax hilighting. Check out the syntax files and configure the prefences.

    But i'm a vim guy all the way. Love the rc file. Here I can configure nice shortcuts that fit my profile.
