I use Vim. The learning curve is a bit steep, but once you take the time to learn it, you'll realize how powerful it is. It's great because I can use the the same editor with the same settings on any machine I work on.

As nice as just using notepad for coding is,
it just makes it easier for reading to have syntax highlighting

Scite. Notepad++ is a bloated version of Scite (both based on the open-source Scintilla)

Eclipse
