I mean really... Notepad? What if my PHP code has an error on line 529?

How do you get to 529 quickly in notepad? I just hit :529[enter].

And yes, theres a Windows version.

So, if you ever have a few hours to spare, download it and try to learn it. In the long run, you may be glad that you did.

Or you may end up hating it a lot.

For windows, I really must recommend elvis.

I must say it's my preferred vi clone for windows. vim is a good one, too.
