Until very recently notepad was my only editor. Recently, however, I started dealing with files coming from a linux environment, and notepad doesn't like thier line breaks...

So, I have recently become converted to Crimson Editor. It's basically a notepad with a few extra features: php syntax highlighting, being able to open multiple files at once in one window via tabs, significantly better file management. (It detects when other programs alter a file you have open! How often have you had two copies of notepad running at the same time editing the same page and overwritten something you did earlier?)

You should notice, however, that none of these features do anything in terms of wysiwyg editing or such nonsense. As of yet, no wysuwyg editor has an interface that is intuitive enough that it can match my production speed typing raw html.

It's a matter of knowing what you want. Sure, I could design in Dreamweaver, but I always end up wanting to tweak some obscure table setting or style property and having to wade through too much junk to do it. Now, especially with the added functionality of Crimson, I can fly reasonably well through source code.
