Isn't textpad te defacto-standard, especially if you want syntax highlighting?

It supoprts pretty much everything and you can DL add-ons for just about any format you can imagine.

Does it have built-in FTP? That's a dealbreaker for me. I just downloaded it and I don't see it. It's not looking as good as EditPlus to me.

No, it doesn't have FTP. Why is that important?

If peopel are doing software development work or web page stuff, why not just get Eclipse?

I'm not sure why ftp is important? Any development should be done with a CVS or similar repository in the background. Eclipse ties into those. Eclipse is also free.

Eclipse is an IDE. We're talking about text editors over here. I think the built in FTP of EditPlus is pretty useful.

Notepad since I never need any fancy features, except for when writing Java, then TextPad.

vi
vim
emacs
mg

Depends on my mood, what I'm doing, and what's available.

I use Notepad or Ultraedit, depending on what I need to do.
