Sublime Text. Hands down. https://www.sublimetext.com https://www.sublimetext.com - Instant startup. - Very fast. - Well-built software. - Handles everything I throw at it; a lot of which would render other editors unresponsive. - Great plug-ins. I've used Sublime Text and have been recommending it to others since the first version. I still recommend it above all other text editors; especially for folks working on a Windows machine.
