I prefer Metapad over Notepad....just my own preference though.
Syntax Highlighting is there for programmers to realize what they might've done wrong....example:
PHP Code:
int main(...) { /* .... */ }
that is correct, but if a programmer is typing fast *like I do sometimes*, they may type this:
PHP Code:
itn main(...) { /* ... */ }
and think they typed "int" instead of "itn". When the compiler spits out an error, they can possibly realize what they did wrong.
