    I second and third and fourth Shog's recommendation of SciTE, very light weight, no-nonsense editor with support for some languages you may never had heard of :) Ed

        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.

            I am looking for something like xacc but not written in .Net. Could not find one so I will settle for a free editor.

                  I.m a great fan of PsPad http://www.pspad.com it has so many features I still keep finding new ones and it is free. The only problem is that the English translation is not 100% correct, but that is not a real problem.

                    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
