Time to re-evaluate the tools I use since the versions are a little old and one of them is my trusty text editor and scripting writer.

I use UltraEdit32 for this and it works well but I heard there may be better tools out there. I have heard of PrimalScript Professional but the $280 price tag seems high. It's $24.95 to upgrade my UltraEdit to version 14. Although there is a huge feature difference. Don't take this as a comparison of the two, I know they aren't equals, only the two I have looked at so far.

What other tools are out there and what do you use and why?
 
Notepad2, Notepad++, SciTE, Eclipse (actually an IDE), vim are the ones I use pretty much every day.
 
I use SourceEdit. It's free and has a really versatile syntax highlighter. Plus, it comes with a hex editor and a programmer-friendly FTP tool.
 
Well my boss gave me his credit card and said to buy PrimalScript Professional and upgrade UltraEdit for the things I use it for. Can't turn down spending other people's monry. :cool:
 
vim, gvim or otherwise. cross-platform, reasonable and configurable syntax-highlighting for a variety of languages, and the ability to edit large text files efficiently with ever having to reach for the mouse is absolutely priceless. your hands will thank you.
 
For quick edits I use JEdit and/or Notepad++ whatever happens to be handy at the time, I do most of my actual coding in Eclipse though.
 
I use notepad++ bc of the versatility and ease. phpDesigner looks amazing for php in specific. Just finished installing it and its nice with the dynamic environment, but a bit bulkier than I like.
