Ask HN: Best code editor?

#1

Hi, I currently use Notepad++ which I'm really satisfied with. I love Visual Studio but is just a hastle to work with sometimes(long loading time, not useful when working with 1 code file(etc), no reason to create a new "web project" instead of a file, etc).

I'd love to know what you use and if you're satisfied with it?

UltraEdit and Komodo are good. Komodo has a free version, I think.

Emacs.

And yes, I'm very satisfied with it. Everytime I see a feature in another editor I like, EmacsWiki usually has an implementation or guide.

Plus emacs has org-mode...

If you want to go commercial on windows check out ultraedit.
