Favorite text editor: SciTE

Everyone has their favorite text editor.  Mine is SciTE.  Although their homepage could use a serious makeover, the editor is incredibly robust and FAST (especially for large text files such as database dumps and large lines such as Base64).  It works on Linux, Windows, and Macs.  It's also very configurable.  Here's my preferred setup (after you download, install and run it):

From the menu select Options > Open Global Options File and add this to the bottom:

font.base=$(font.monospace)

font.small=$(font.monospace)

font.comment=$(font.monospace)

font.text=$(font.monospace)

font.text.comment=$(font.monospace)

font.embedded.base=$(font.monospace)

font.embedded.comment=$(font.monospace)

font.vbs=$(font.monospace)

line.margin.visible=1

source.files=*
