TotalEdit 4.1: Text editor for programmers
Looking for a powerful text editor for all your writing and coding needs? Look no further than TotalEdit 4.1, a multi-featured text editing tool created by Independence Software.TotalEdit offers a wealth of programming features, including syntax-coloring, code-folding, line-numbering, and many other hyphenated features. TotalEdit also includes a number of one-click edits, so you can quickly switch upper case to lower case or swap tabs to spaces.
And yes, for those of us who never even placed in our school spelling bee, there is a spell checker.
The newly released version 4.1 adds the ability to install TotalEdit on a portable USB key for use across multiple machines and cleans up some character rendering bugs. To open TotalEdit from the USB key, simply double-click on TEditStd.exe, and away you go.
Total Edit 4.1 is free, as in air, and Windows only.

I'd recommend checking out PSPad as well. With it's built in FTP functionality, you can edit files on your host's site as if they were local. That's a tough piece of functionality to beat. It's also free.

Notepad++ is still the best in my book. Has plugins available that cover all kinds of goodies, including FTP functionality mentioned above. Anyone who says it is not the absolute best is a total moron and is not to be believed. Seriously, though, it's pretty nice...

I agree, Notepad++ is great. I also like the find and replace function of NoteTab.

+1 for notepad++

yep, Notepad ++ is a great application :)

Notepad++ is awesome. Does TotalEdit have any features that NP++ does not?
One wish I have for HTML editing: an editor that can format the HTML like this Firefox add-on:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/655
That would be wonderful!

UltraEdit is a winner!

According to this blog http://www.optimalworks.net/blog/2008/software/totaledit-review TotalEdit 4.1 is not quite ready to replace Notepad++. The author also details why.

I second UltraEdit, nothing else matches it for the volume and quality of features. Unfortunately it's quite pricey now at $50.
Of the free alternatives I'd definitely go for Notepad++.

SPEdit is the best text editor ever made.
Textpad is what I use because I can't afford a $300 copy of SPEdit.

I'll plug UltraEdit as well. Yes, it's fifty bucks, but if you compare that to most programmers' hourly rates, it doesn't take long to pay for it.
Plus -- it gives you a recursive search-and-replace in files -- worth its weight in gold. And regular expressions. And sorting. And a great file-compare utility.
Well worth trying the demo ... and well worth paying for after 30 days. :)

Nothing compares to Notepad++, I love it and it's free

Anything will do, what's important is you know how to use it, and be productive on what your working on.
