    This is my preferred text editor. It supports so many languages, yet works just as well for simple tasks.

    Like and use most the following feaures:
    - Higlight matching open/close tag in XML
    - Separate menu to diplay your document in whetever encoding or convert to desired encoding. Including UTF8 with and without BOM.
    - Nice build-in compare feature
    - XML file re-indent function

    Overal the editor is very reliable. Polished user experience.

    Every week, I learn some new crazy feature about notepad++

    I know of nothing better.

    Perfect for ANY text editing! ^_^

    Some of my favourite (less known) features of npp:
    - Block selection.
    - Find/Replace in files (in dir).
    - Copy as HTML. (keeps syntax colours in tact)

    One of the best code editing apps for Windows for those times/people that don't need a full-blown IDE. The built-in FTP tool is slick.
