Programmer's notepad. It's small, has highlighting for everything, very customizable, can manage projects and use other console tools and capture their output with a cool "system call" editor (for lack of a better word) and plugins, although there aren't many yet. Yeah, so that was more than 30 words. I hope I don't get banned.. :~ Oh, by the way, I made a C++ text clips file for it, and submitted it. When it gets posted, and if you try the program, let me know what you think :->
