I would have said Notepad++ until I found Sublime Text 2 (http://www.sublimetext.com/blog/articles/sublime-text-2-new-version http://www.sublimetext.com/blog/articles/sublime-text-2-new-...) here on HN. A big shout-out to you guys. I completely intend to buy a license when it comes out of Alpha.

I have started using Sublime a while back, but was recently thrown off by its lack of printing support... But generally my absolute favourite is Komodo -- I'm using IDE, but Edit is good enough for most tasks.

Ditto here, it's absolutely fantastic using a well-designed interface (unlike N++, which seems sporadic at best).

Yeah I use this fulltime now, at least on the PC, running textmate on my laptop, just been a bit lazy to change over.

I actually bought a license after using the editor for quite some time. It's the first time I spent money on a text editor, despite having the possibility to chose from a number of free alternatives. For me, this money is really spent well for various reasons, the most prominent ones being that the software makes me happy and I really enjoy working with it. I'm currently using version 2, too, and the developer is pushing updates on a weekly base (http://www.sublimetext.com/2 http://www.sublimetext.com/2). I even requested a change in the forums once; the developer kindly responded to my thread, and shipped my requested change with the new version. Awesome work, seriously!

  I've used Sublime when I haven't felt like setting up Vim or Emacs on Windows. are there major benefits to Sublime 2 over the original?

    * ST 2 runs on Linux, Mac OSX, and Windows; * Auto-completion has been improved, in that you can now continue typing when the suggestions pop up; * Other UI changes (new tab design, mini map has been moved to the right side, side bar, you can hide the menu when in full screen mode, etc.); * A lot of other changes; I'd therefore recommend you to have a look at the change logs for more information: http://www.sublimetext.com/2 http://www.sublimetext.com/2 I had been using ST1 for quite some time before starting using ST2, and I already was a fan of ST1.

I'm using Sublime Text as well. I figure it has a lot of tools built in that I'm not taking advantage of since I don't know about them. Something like this for Sublime Text would be great: http://www.zeldman.com/2010/08/13/how-to-use-textmate/ http://www.zeldman.com/2010/08/13/how-to-use-textmate/
