Good programming text editors?

[AgaBoogaBoo]

Right now, I use TextPad, but I'm looking to see others to use as well.

try vim. there is a learning curve so you gotta be patient. but you will not go back.

Ones I've tried and liked:
BBedit
Multi-edit
Emacs

Emacs was my favorite, but I wouldn't trust my tastes if I were you.

I am really liking jEdit. Using it in FreeBSD and writing an openGL application that's over 2500 lines of code
so far. Seems to handle the job quite well.

Crimson Editor

I love it. And it's free!!

Emacs is the ultimate text editor, but almost everything is done with key combos and the manual has something like 1.5MB.
If you don't want to spend the time it takes to learn Emacs, then I would suggest Crimson Editor.

If you are using this for java editing why dont you get an IDE like http://www.eclipse.org. Eclipse is an excellent Java IDE written mostly by IBM and also they is a really good C++ plug in for it

Text Editor: UltraEdit
IDE: JCreator
Eclipse was quite good also.

Yeah I use Crimson in work and its pretty good though not really the most stable application around.

You could always download Netbeans from Sun which is a free IDE for Java.

I use emacs to write files, and vi to edit them.
