PSPad is probably the editor in which I've written most of my code as I was learning programming on my own (mostly PHP on Windows XP, old times…). Before that, I had used Notepad (yes, I did!), Notepad2 and Notepad++, but PSPad had so many features, so well integrated together that I used it almost exclusively. At some point, I had to switch because… you know… NetBSD. And it was a real pain to start working with Emacs. After years of practice, I'm finally used to it and wouldn't switch to anything else, but PSPad remains the friendliest and most easily discoverable powerful editor I've ever used. Thanks Jan, I might not be the programmer I am today without PSPad!
