Update to my previous comment on September 4th, 2010 . . .
UltraEdit now has a MAC OS version.
IT is now my favorite for both Mac and Windows computers.
AND, UltraEdit has been upgraded all around . . .
it does everything a programmer would want …
and more you never realized you needed!

I would definitely go for TextMate / E -text editor. Anyone saying Syntax high lighting and simplicity is all you need hasn’t worked for long or with a proper editor. There’s much more to it than that. Coda seems nice of course, haven’t tried though. Cheers

Sorry, but this poll is a ‘which test editor do you use’ not a ‘which text editor is the best’.

Obviously Notepad++ is going to place highest, as it is open source so more people have access to it. Others, such as Coda and Ultraedit, require a license, so will immediately get fewer votes as fewer people use it.

Coda, hands down. It is by far the best way I’ve found to manage a site locally, live, and in Subversion all in one program.

Why aint php designer 7 on this list? It really puts most of these editors to shame when it comes the Interface and features its boss. I guess you get what you pay for:)

gEdit, e-TextEditor or even SciTE are all fine.

A lot of editors try to do too much, IMO.
