so im in desperate need of an open source editor that doesnt mess with my code like compozer does anything?
Notepad++ would a very nice option. its open source and more over its user friendly. you should definitely give it a try.
Yeap Notepad ++ is what i'm using to do all my coding and editing.... To me it's a awesome free program...
Lol! Notepad is awesome. I didn't know in this day and age people still make use of it. Its the ultimate for basic stuff.
+1 for PSPad. It's not open source, but it is free. It has coloured syntax highlighting + FTP, which I like. http://www.pspad.com
