OK, so we've had the UNIX text editor holy war; now we're onto Windows? ;)

Personlly, when I need to program under Windows, I usually use UltraEdit.
It's not particularily pretty - it tries to do too much, IMHO - but it
does syntax highlighting for most any language you can think of.  (I use
it because it's the only one commonly available that I've found to do perl
highlighting.)

I've recently been using ColdFusion Studio, which is a lot nicer, and does
highlighting for many web languages (html, cfml of course, perl, php!,
asp, jsp, VBScript, J[ava]Script), and SQL.

FWIW,
