It is my default editor for everything except html which I do in Dreamweaver. However, today Notepad++ wouldn't open a file because it was too large just like Notepad. Ugh!! I never realized that Notepad++ had the max file size limit like Notepad. Well, thank you for this list because it gives me at least one other to try, Programmer's Notepad which is the only one listed that has the unlimited file size feature mentioned. Thanks Again.

I find it is great for Web coding (php, html, css etc) and I have also used it to write small Java/J2ME applications. I actually found this article after I tried googling for a programmer's notepad alternative... After reading this, I think I will just stay with PN2.... if it aint broken, don't fix it :D. A couple of things that could be fixed in PN: *(x) HTML - tags which don't need to be closed (i.e. , ) Shouldn't generate a close tag... Auto closing is useful but it's annoying if you forget the slash on non-closed tag. * CSS could be color coded when it is embeded in HTML. At the moment you can get the color coding in external css files but not if you write css in tags (unless you select the CSS doc type from the toolbar then change it back to HTML when you are done). Otherwise... for a free program, excellent value! I have used Programmer’s Notepad for about 2 years now.
