I've switched to Sublime Text 2. It's been a fine editor. I'd don't like CF assistance with writing code, however it does support syntax highlighting. It's lightweight and I can keep 3, 4, or 5 editors open with various projects at one time with no problem.
I work primarily in HTML, CF, CSS3, and jQuery so I LOVE the fact that it lets me have choices about layout of parts of the editor. I use the "Grid-4" layout all the time. It's nice to have HTML, CF, jQuery, and CSS3 all on their own screen if I want to. I use dual monitors, so they makes it particularly useful. And it's only $70. You can use it for free, you just have to put up with the "Please buy a license" popups every 10 saves or so, but it's well worth the $70 and has a LOT of people writing add-ons for it that makes it easy to configure to work in a way that benefits your workflow the most.

Now the old hoss is reluctant to boot (takes about 30 minutes or more) so I'm kind of forced to get a new machine. Problem: new ones all come with Windows 8 so it looks like I'll be buying (unless I can find freebies) some new development tools. My server host is moving to Railo to avoid doubling my fees, so what do you folks recommend for CF development environment?
