I'm a Windows user. I use Notepad++ though I'm starting to hate it because of its bugs.

Currently giving Komodo Edit from Active State a shot. I too am trying to get away from NPP

Sublime Text: http://www.sublimetext.com/

Visual Studio for C# though.

I use UltraEdit32 for everything but Java. It's feature rich, highly customizable, and works the way I do. For example it supports cross system editing via ftp or ssh.

For Java, I use eclipse. The interface is non-intuitive, but the number of tools cant be ignored.

I was just using searchyc to see if anybody had asked this question, because I am frustrated with my editor.

I use UltraEdit32, and the damn thing is always locking up on my when I go to open an sftp directory. At least two or three times a day, I have to shut it down, and restart it, to get it to open the remote directory. You don't have this issue?

Pretty standard gvim setup. For writing Rails applications a lot more plugins come into play, but for writing plain C the simplicity is nice. http://mkbunday.googlepages.com/2009-12-07-113456_1024x600_s...
