I know its rather late, but I've been searching for an IDE/text editor to settle on for a while now and this thread came in very handy.
I used Notepad++ exclusively for the longest time until I had to develop exclusively on a linux box at work. WINE+Notepad++ worked for a while, but there were plenty of features missing (like large find in files searches). So I played around with Kate on Linux and really loved it, but I couldn't get Kate to run well on Windows. Plus the native Windows console is less than useful when you work remotely. I've never liked the Project Based IDE's like Eclipse, NetBean, Komodo, etc.. I much prefer the standard file-browser style editor because I do most of my work remotely. And I've never had much luck getting those IDE's to play nice when the project base is over a network. So after playing around with more editors I've discovered jEdit and haven't looked back since. jEdit is written in Java (so runs on Mac, Win, Linux) and most importantly is free. *smile* jEdit with PHPparser, Sidekick, XHTML/CSSparser, FTP Plugin, SVNconsole, and SSHconsole (all standard plugins) makes working natively across networks a dream. I can work as though I'm sitting in front of any remote machine I regularly work on; running large find in file searches over the network without downloading a single file for example. For a Java editor it has a relatively light memory footprint (in Java terms). I recommend giving it a look if you're in the market for a Text Editor that converts to a pretty powerful IDE with the right plugins. As is the case with most Java based IDEs it excels the most in Java programming, but I use it for everything. By the way, for those of you dabbling in Rails (I know BLASPHEMY!) it has a very nice RailsPlugin that really does make it a viable IDE for rails developers. For anyone still looking, like I was; I suggest giving jEdit and its massive plugin database a spin. Holy crap, what a plug, I should be getting paid! Oh ya... its open source.... DOH! *cough* I mean buy Microsoft's Frontpage 2009! cha- ching!
