    Notepad2 a free download has syntax highlighting which makes it a lot easier to use. That is about all I use.

    I usually use it when I want to modify some code and don't want to open it via Dream Weaver.

    i haven't in about 5 or 6 years... but i guess that's what i would use if i didn't have dreamweaver or anything. it's a real bitch to code stuff when nothing is color-coded.

    Use Notepad++. I used to use Notepad but PHP files need to be saved in UTF-8, this is where Notepad++ comes in handy. It is also better for indenting and syntax highlighting.

    Not pad is great if you want to find a specific line of text using the find and replace command.

    Yea, when editing code the text editors with highlight of code and when it tells you what line your on is really nice. When someone calls I open a blank notepad if I need to take a note too:D.

    I only use Notepad for simple editing. For serious coding, I prefer to do it using Dreamweaver.

    Notepad++ is a great editor in my opinion. Another one is 'Textpad' There are also some very good php editors that are good for html work as well

    Pfft, never in a million years. For coding, it's PHP Designer 2007, with Wordpad as an alternative. I only occasionally use notepad for, say, copying something off a website then pasting on notepad then copying from there again to remove formatting.
