What is your favorite source code editor?

I`m using Notepad++ and I`m quite happy with it.
I would like to know which source code editors other warriors use.
Thanks for sharing

I use Notepad++ as well, it is really great. There is no Linux version though.

Anyone know of a good editor for Linux?

  Screem is a pretty decent LINUX editor.
  
  Screem HTML/XML Editor - Features
  
  On the Windows Platform I like PS Pad, it has a lot of similarities to Notepad++
  
  editor PSPad - freeware HTML editor, PHP editor, XHTML, JavaScript, ASP, Perl, C, HEX editor
  
  I also have used UltraEdit a lot although it's been a while since I upgraded it.

  I use Notepad++ too. Good indentation and easy bug tracer. Hotkey F12 - cool.
  
  llamafier, you could try jEdit

Another vote for NotePad++.

I also use DreamWeaver at work, which is pretty awesome but a little too expensive given the range of features available in free solutions.

I tried jEdit for a while, but I found it a little clunky and difficult to use.

form me it depends on what i am doing.

If it is ASP.NET then it is Visual Studio 2008

otherwise i use Dreamweaver CS4.

I will use the good ol' faithful Notepad sometimes as well for the quick edits.

Thanks for all your replies, folks.

I`m glad that many warriors use Notepad++ too.
And also sorry that Mac version is not developed yet.
Really awesome free tool.

I use UltraEditor because it is very user-friendly. they offer a 60 day trial and I reinstall windows monthly so I don`t have to buy the license.

Thanks for all the suggestions. SciTE looks really nice and simple, I'll probably be using that. Kate looked pretty good too.
