Notepad++

Version 4.2.2 of my favorite Notepad replacement was released yesterday. If you haven't tried it, Notepad++ is worth the download. It is a free, full featured, source code editor and Notepad replacement. Over the years, I have tried several different text editors, but this is the one that I finally settled on.

The feature list of Notepad++ is impressive;

It also comes with a host of plugins that add support for dozens of additional features like;
