I use Editpad most of the time, http://www.editpadclassic.com/ I love the
author's original concept of "Postcardware".
One minor annoyance with Komodo is that I have a habit of hitting "Alt+F+S"
to save after several changes, but that key sequence doesn't work with
Komodo. Komodo is also very slow starting up. However it has nice
debugging and project features so I use it when working on a very large
script, or a script with several custom packages attached.

IDE/Editor?

Hm, no mention of EditPad yet. I use it, and like it. Anyone else? I
don't do anything hefty enough to require an IDE, I just wanted something
that addressed the things about notepad I find annoying.
Why I like it:
-doesn't default to "save as type .txt"
-new files go in the existing window, and uses tabs instead of overlapping
child windows
-no limit on the number of files you can have open
-easy to change font size
-extremely flexible find/search/replace dialog: case sensitivity, whole
words only, can search across all your open documents
-can convert spaces to tabs and vice versa with configurable tab size
(4,8,x)
-can convert between upper-case, lower-case, and WhatEverThisIsCalled
-is a standalone executable so can be run on another machine from a unc
path, i.e.
\\server1\share\editpad \\server2\data\scripts\script3.pl
-> this will open or create script3.pl on server2 using the
executable shared out on server1, while typing at your workstation or a
third server.
-it's postcardware (I'm due to send mine out) :)
