TED Notepad is great for single file editing and PSPad for multiple files like projects.
I'll have a look at TED Notepad soon to replace editor2 which I use for quick editing.

I'm still looking for something like Notepad++ or PSPad or the like, but with good support of multiline search & replace (in NP++ it is implememented, but nearly impossible to use ). Thanks for hints! Georg
PSPad is an editor with a wide variety of functionality. I very much like the included HTML checking and the quick switching between HTML source and HTML page preview using F10 key.
That's one heavy editor... Way too hard core, even for me.
