 What about vim (vi clone: http://www.vim.org).  I just converted a very
large

while i'm no design weenie, thats a bit too less is more for me.

in any case anyone's interested the suggestions so far are:
ultraEdit
eclipse
jText
jEdit
vim
notepad (yes really. i use it quite a lot more than i'd like to admit in
conjunction with mm's cfStudio with its broken unicode support)

I have to add SC UniPad to the list, although its $199 price tag might
be a bit steep.  Note that by editing small files, or exiting and
re-entering frequently, you can get a lot done with the unregistered
(free) version.

All of my Web pages, which I admit are not very complex, are written
using SC UniPad.

I also admit to being biased, having contributed the SCSU code and
Vietnamese conversion routines and dozens of keyboard layouts to SC
UniPad.

 ultraEdit

I've used UltraEdit for several years, and there are several things I
like about it. One thing I don't like, though, is its handling of
encodings and encoding conversions. It's menu options in this regard are
a bit cryptic, and I found there could be situations in which what it
was showing in hex mode was not the same as what is actually in the
file. I suggest some changes to the author, but didn't manage to
convince him.

 HTML Tidy or TagSoup would probably have served you better, rather than
 groveling over the code bit by bit.  (HTML Tidy can do more cleaning,
 but it sometimes loops or delivers garbage if the HTML is sufficiently
 broken.  TagSoup never gives up and never loops, but doesn't know
 as much about HTML.)

Actually I did use Tidy too.

UTF-8-encoded HTML document (more than 15000 lines) to standards-compliant XHTML-1.0

found the advanced regular-expression-based substitution facilities in vi(m)
absolutely indispensible for adding all of the closing tags that XML requires
which were missing in my original document.  I had been using a couple of other
editors to complete the work, but as the conversion requirements got more difficult,
vim proved to be the most efficient tool for the job.  Note: If you do use vim or
another vi clone in a terminal on a *nix platform, make sure you run it inside mlterm
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/mlterm/) in order to display Unicode properly.
