The 2nd most popular text editor/IDE on Windows
ShareNotepad++ is a free, open source (GPL) source code editor which supports several programming languages running under the Microsoft Windows environment. Notepad++ is hosted on SourceForge.net, from where it has been downloaded over eight million times. Notepad++ supports syntax highlighting for 44 programming, scripting, and markup languages. Users can also define their own language by using the built-in User Language Define System, which makes Notepad++ extendable, to have syntax highlighting and syntax folding. This project, based on the Scintilla editor component, is written in C++ with pure Win32 API calls and uses STL. Notepad++ is licensed under the GPL Licence. The aim of Notepad++ is to offer a slim and efficient binary with a totally customizable GUI. Notepad++ is available only for the Microsoft Windows operating system. However, users can still get Notepad++ to work on other platforms, like Linux and Mac OS X, using software such as Wine.… More Edit

I've tried other lightweight editors but keep coming to this one. It looks great and is easy to use.
Of course, the interface could look better, but that is surely not the main focus for an efficient editor. Without being bloated, Notepad++ offers all necessary and more features that you need, regardless of what language you use for coding.
Best text editor for webdeveloper.
Pros: Tabbed editing, syntax highlighting, code folding
Cons: None that come to mind
Nothing beats Notepad++ for a quick and simple editor for plain text or most programming syntax. I use it often to browse code and perform quick edits.
What I really like: The Scintilla component. Multi-editing, syntax highlighting, code folding and much more.
What I strongly dislike: It doesn't really like huge amounts of data to edit. It quickly becomes slow and sluggish. A pity, actually...
Its a very good software for editing all kinds of files:
.c, .h, .cpp, .java and so on
A very nice text editor... Good for coding... I'm talking about serious coding :D...
This is great for almost anything, and it's easy to use. Love it!
Nice Gmod LUA highlighting.
just great for browsing through code files for example
Love this editor. It is very easy to use.
I love this editor, it's fast and it works well. I'm switching to Sublime Text, however, for the slicker interface.
great notepad replacement. tabbed notes and syntax highlighting... and it's free!
Its the best text editor. Im using it for php coding. It has a simple interface but a lot of features like syntax highlighting. ;)
the best text editor I've ever used, simple yet professional, with syntax highlighting and all the vital functions you need. Still very fast and well integrated into the OS
