What text editor do you prefer?
Yes, I'm going to make a thread like this for every category of software I use.
Personally, I'm a Notepad++ fan, on Windows. I haven't found something I like quite as much on Linux, but gedit will do in a pinch.

I'm probably going to switch to Dreamweaver if I ever do end up learning HTML though. The fact that I learned how it worked in an otherwise useless computer class this year made me kinda partial to it. ^__^
Wordpad
Sticky Notes
Notepad++
I'll have to pirate it or rent it from my school if I get it again but that alone would probably justify the action.
MICROSOFT WORD IS NOT A TEXT EDITOR
It's simple and lightweight, but also fully-featured for a basic text editor, unlike default Notepad.
On Linux I use gedit.
Granted, I like dated-feeling software sometimes, but not when I just want to get something done
I mean I like Metapad because while it feels barebones it does so in a way that's very light and responsive and all the bones are meticulously there so some of the most important features to me -- such as Ctrl+Backspace being able to delete words -- are all there.
I use it primarily to read, write, and edit text files. Maybe your usage is different? I hear that Notepad++ supports syntax coloring based on various programming languages.
Actually, does Notepad++ handle unusual characters well? Metapad doesn't.

i watched someone open a dll in wordpad today
