If I am working on a *nix system, I prefer the simple vi editor, and I usually use notepad if I am writing something for Windows. I have tried an editor called SCite, which came bundled with Ruby when I installed it. It also comes bundled with Wx-Perl if I am not mistaken. I found the syntax highlighting to be a useful tool, when trying to locate a missing brace or comma, but other than that, I could have taken it or left it.
