    Man! He's a regular here. He works his can off on his IDE and it's a nice product but nobody plugs for him. LEPPIE, has a nice editor that supports many common languages and if I didn't have VS 2005/VS 2003 I'd use his product and I still do for many things. It light, fast and clean and it's appealing to the eye. Leppie did a good job with it. Leppie this one's for you :-D http://blogs.wdevs.com/leppie/[^] to get directly to the project site for a download use http://sourceforge.net/projects/xacc/[^]

    I only read CP for the articles. Code-frog System Architects, Inc.

    I'll agree with that. xacc.ide is amazing. And it is nice on the eyes...something which a lot of programmer's editors are not.

                  TextPad is good especially if you're used to VC++-style editing but it's not quite free (WinZip-style license). Kevin

                          I use SuperEdi for a few non .NET programmings tasks (c, large txt files). Has a function browser which makes locating functions quick and easy http://www.wolosoft.com/en/superedi/

                            Give PSPad a try, I use it almost constantly and it has some really nice tools including a basic but effective FTP client, Lorem Ipsum generator and so on. http://www.pspad.com/
