notepad2:
- pros: syntax highlighting, line numbering, organized interface, find/replace

opera:

Do you know how much data there is in a single squirt?
The red-light districts of the world are the ultimate mecca for bandwidth:
(750/2 MB per sperm) * (10 million sperm per mL) * (~5 mL per orgasm) * (few dozen guys a second in the district) = holy shit

Actually there is ~4 million per mL.
Taking 5 hours 33 minutes per shot.
http://www.monashivf.edu.au/basics/causes2.html A sperm count greater than 20 million/ml is considered normal, however the average for the population is about 60 million and some men have a sperm count of above 200 million/ml.

Textmate (OS X):
- pros: Modern, very extensible, great user community, easy learning curve.
- cons: hoep u got €40, no CJK direct input.
See these videos of textmate in action: http://macromates.com/screencasts - I recommend viewing "Blogging From TextMate" for the awesome factor.

Textedit [apple's 'notepad']:
- pros: spell checking?
- cons: sucks almost as much as notepad.

Textedit is not really apple's notepad, more like WordPad. It's really good at being a very simple wysiwyg editor but you don't want to use it as a serious text editor.

vim:
* syntax highlighting
* ease of bulk operation
* small size, scale, and simple user command interface make it a wonder over all kinds of connections. yes some of us have to dial into remote sites and do an SSH tunnel over 16.7kbp/s YAY.
* plenty of documentation
* easy enough to keep a reference on a coffee cup

jEdit:
pros:
* written in Java (portable)
* plugins to extend abilities (tabs, parsing...)
* syntax highlighting (not that there is any good text editor without this)
* Free
cons:
* written in Java (slow to load)
vim cons:
* dual-mode
* shortcut keys aren't the standard keyboard shortcuts that the rest of the world uses (ctrl+x,c,v,s)
* it's not an operating system
* it doesn't force you to use LISP

70'S UNIX ABANDONWARE ARE NOT SERIOUS TEXT EDITORS OKAY
Notepad++:
pros:
* syntax highlighting
* supports over 20 languages by default
* ability to add syntax highlighting for other languages
* partially working intellisense
* plugins
cons:
* none that I can think of!
Or do you know any text-editor which can handle regular expressions?
And no, emacs is an operating system.

Lol, ancient Unix tools user. ANY decent modern editor does regular expression search and substitute. Examples include Kate (KDE, free), Ultra-Edit (Windows, commercial) and PSPad (Windows, free). The last supports Perl-compatible regular expressions with extra features as well.

I do not know many that don't. Excluding 70's console freewares, only notepad and Gedit don't have regexes out of the box.
Even notepad drop-in replacements like notepad2 support them.
On real computers, Textmate, Textwrangler/BBEdit and SubEthaEdit support them too.

To open a hundred megabytes file? Ultra-Edit sure does. PSPad, I haven't tried. Kate doesn't scale that well, but is good enough for any human-written text file you'd ever want to edit.
