So if you’re looking for a good programmer’s editor on Windows, I suggest you give EditPad Pro a try, and perhaps also EmEditor if you prefer more features over a simpler UI. That was an early stumbling block for me but it’s been the only one so far, and it’s well explained in the user manual. files remain part of their project even when closed. The current version also offers “managed” projects which behave as in other editors, i.e. That’s the default because it’s legacy behavior from earlier versions. Closed files are immediately removed from the project. Speaking of projects, the implementation is somewhat unusual in that they only contain open files by default.

Jan Goyvaerts has co-authored the Regular Expressions Cookbook, and a full hundred manual pages are devoted to an in-depth explanation of regular expressions (which are of course fully supported by EditPad Pro).

So I cast about for an alternative: light-weight, not too expensive, and comparable in feature set, but with a cleaner and simpler UI. Worse, EmEditor relies on third-party plug-ins for some basic functionality, and the plug-in mechanism is poorly integrated with the standard UI.

As the program accrued more and more features, the UI became a labyrinthine mess of multi-level menus, multi-line toolbars, and multi-tabbed dialogs. That’s a good thing, too, because EmEditor is now afflicted by bit rot in its user interface. Those days are thankfully behind us, and you’ll be hard-pressed to find any modern text editor that doesn’t support Unicode. Indeed, I switched to EmEditor from two earlier favorites because their authors refused to add Unicode support, claiming it wasn’t important! Back in the day, EmEditor was one of the first editors to fully support Unicode.

for about a decade), Yutaka Emura’s EmEditor was my preferred editor for all kinds of plain text, including HTML/XML documents and source code outside of full-fledged IDEs.
