Notepad++
I would be lying if I said I actually tried any other text editor than this one. As soon as I downloaded it and got it installed, I checked out most of it's features. I didn't really understand some of them, but for the most part I felt smart for just having them. Once I saw that they color coded all the stuff, I thought that was cool too -- plus I enjoy the +/- buttons that can close what's inside. This text editor is much better than the one supplied with Windows, so I am overall very happy with my find! Basically put, Notepad++ is awesome!
