What is your favorite text editor for the system(s) you use? Mine is Notepad++ on Windows. (Still wishing I had a Mac so I could use Coda)
What is your favorite text editor?

I also like Notepad which although has been a fixed part of all Windows operating systems since years ago, but it still is useful and powerful. Word too can be great to use and as you may guess contains more features when it comes to doing some decorative jobs. Since this question has been posted in web related section of the forum, it is nice mentioning this point that Notepad is still the standard tool when it comes to working on basic HTML codes as well as even advanced CSS scripts.
Experts are able to hand-code the projects simply through using Notepad and as soon as you take a glance at web server roots and folders of most modern websites these days which have been powered by templates, you will find CSS text files which have been purely created via using the basic Notepad. Although trying to work with modern tools while trying to develop websites is always nice, but there is nothing wrong with returning back to the basic assets and tools sometimes.

"it is nice mentioning this point that Notepad is still the standard tool when it comes to working on basic HTML codes as well as even advanced CSS scripts." says who? (apart from you) every discussion i've seen on forums or talking to people shows that something like 10% of people use notepad.
I mean why would use something as basic as notepad when they're are better alternatives - all, for example, with syntax highlight, and most with the ability to collapse/expand sections fo code?
there's ntohing wrong with using notepad if you want but I think the claims in your post are optimistic at best

To be fair, the question was asking what your favorite text editor is. Certainly, Word is better for that than Notepad, especially if you want to add color or change fonts or the like. For web design? Total crap. Building on Frank's point, tables within iframes inside a table with an image map for navigation would be better.

Yeah, I did kind of forget that I didn't specifically say Web Design text editor even though I posted in the Web Design forum.

The notepad that windows comes with sometimes does funky things to code. I don't like it. notepad++ is free and a lot better.
i used basic in the derogatory sense - my words but your meaningIt's in your words,'Basic' that's why people keep on using Notepad. I am also using it as well!
notepad+ for example is not what you called bloated but offers more functionality than just notepad.
