I've been doing some coding lately. My shell scripting has fallen a bit behind where it needs be. So I'm making a concerted effort to get a groove back.
One of the things that I've hated about Windows (and *nix) is that none of them have BBEdit. I cut my teeth on BBEdit, and I've never seen a text editor that comes close to touching it.
And I still haven't. But I found a good free win32 text-editor that I've grown accustomed to. Omnipad. It has a lot of great features for real code whores, and is still simple enough that I can use it. If you're stuck coding on a Windows box, I suggest installing it and giving it a run. It's nice to have an editor that prints something close to what it shows on the screen.
I also have Visual Slick Edit. But it's too much for the wsh scripts I'm writing. Not meant for the casual whore.
And I could fire up the G3 and just use BBedit... Ugh. Why didn't I think of that before?

I'll see if EditPlus was one that I tried. I downloaded half a dozen free editors and played with them for a few weeks. Some weren't too bad, but just had a feature or two that I didn't like.
