A question was asked in Ask for help, so I thought I would make a new poll, since we have many more users than the last time this was brought up. If I am forgetting your editor, please vote Other, since I can't change the poll.

I had to lump a few together, since I had too many poll options.

I use PSPad because I wanted to stop stealing UltraEdit

For people that get directed here for syntax highlighting, AHK comes with a few scripts to configure most of the editors above for Autohotkey Syntax. They are found in c:\program files\Autohotkey\extras\editors\[name of editor]

run the script for the editor of your choice, and happy scripting.

PSPad. If it's crashed on me, I can't remember it.

God, I cringe every time I think about how long I used Notepad.

I voted other - most of the time (95% or more) I use JFE (Jens' File Editor). It's loaded with features, runs nicely from a USB drive, and it's free Smile .

JFE seems like a good alternative. Thanks for the link.

I voted PSPad, since it is the one I use currently. I'm considering to use SciTE.

ConTEXT. Its like an lightweight PSPad as far as i can tell from looking at PSPad once. It has everything i need (highlighter, code template, nice find results output, execution keys). However it has some quirks and development is on hold for a very long time now but every other editor i have tried had something that just didn't feel right so i am stuck with ConTEXT since i started coding.

I was hoping to lump all vi/vim related editors into one (same with emacs)

I thought I had MetaPad in there. I must have lost it in the shuffle when I had to remove/condense options.

I honestly only listed that since it had a folder in the Autohotkey/Extras/Editors folder. I hadn't heard of it. I should see how it looks

Same reason why I am using PSPad. PSPad crashes sometimes on old versions, currently it does not crash any more.

EditPlus. The fastest editor around, starts like a Notepad, have features not found even in much more popular editors. On the bad side, old regular expressions and badly implemented code folding and shareware.

I use the editor in FAR manager it's a text mode win32 file manager similar to Norton Commander.
The editor itself is kinda basic but with plugins support I have most of the features I need when programming and I even used a plugin called Colorer to add AHK Syntax highlighting support.
