I use Notepad++, but as explained in another thread in this forum, if you're willing to pay, Microsoft Expression Web Design is by far what I consider to be a good text editor if you want to make pages using a design-view instead of a code-view.

I used to use Linux a lot, in which case it would probably be Kate, but since I have to use VB .NET for my Computing coursework (it's absolutely bullcrap language), I'm sticking on my Windows partition for a while.
