I'd have to say that I use this free text editor editor the most.
I'd have to say that I use this free text editor editor the most. I find that being able to save and load sessions of files very handy when tinkering with the same stuff over and over again. Windows only. https://notepad-plus-plus.org/
Why use more than one text editor? I find Notepad3 handing for the odd .txt and .ini file (has syntax highlighting), PSPad is a nice and simple HTML editor (though it does other stuff), and I use AxelPad (which can remember the last session) to keep a few lists of TV shows I'm watching on the Media PC. By using different editors for different functions I find I can keep the "recent files lists clean.
I like Notepad++. I used to use it a lot when I was programming before the IDE days. The folding features made it real easy to compartmentalize code. I still use it now, just not as much.
