Some more editors of mention...

I've used Multi Edit for years. They don't have lifetime upgrades, so I still use an older version, but as a person who tries every text editor out there, even the older version is excellent for programmers.

For lightweight editing, I also use notepad++. It's open source, it handles most anything I throw at it, and it's light weight. What else can you ask for?

I also use raize scratch pad. I just like the interface on this one- and the price wasn't too bad on it.

I haven't tried them all, but my text editor of choice is definitely NoteTab Pro
I've been using it for 5-6 years and functionally very rich. Some of the advanced features can take a bit to learn, but very worthwhile.
Most friends use the Lite (and free) version and there's only a few advanced features not available.
Too many features to list, but one very productive one is writing your own paste clips, macros, libraries etc, very powerful.

Slickedit. Stuck at version 6 cause I just can't justify the 299 price tag but even at version 6 it was a programmers editor which didnt look down at perl or php and had almost all it's great ide features work for those languages too.
Can't find the files i need for v6 anymore though :'(

What about CodePad, another excellent freeware editor aimed at programmers, but quite useful for everyone. You can find it at http://shicola.wz.cz/codepad/features.php It supports column select (use the Alt key), supports 64 programming languages for syntax highlighting out of the box, and much more. I find it great for general text editing too.

A search didn't turn up GridinSoft Notepad so I felt I should add it too. I was considering paying for it but it doesn't support Unicode of UTF-8 and in this day and age that seems unacceptable. It's excellent on everything else though.
