About a month or so I blogged about how I was “Look­ing for a Good Win­dows Text Editor”. So far, I’ve been fairly unsuc­cess­ful. As per Fox Cutter’s sug­ges­tion, I did check out TextPad. I’ve been using it when­ever I need to do edits for my web­site on my Win­dows com­puter. I have to say though, it’s not really what I was look­ing for. The user inter­face feels old to me and the code high­light­ing seems rudi­men­tary at best. I really want some­thing that is like Text­Mate, but will work on Win­dows (as a bonus it would work on linux too).

It’s seems like things might be look­ing better though. I just found out about E-TextEditor. It’s tag line is “The power of Text­mate on Win­dows”. Sounds good to me.

E-TextEditor is still in beta, but from what I’ve heard so far about it, the future looks good. I have not gotten a chance to try it out myself yet since these days I seem to only turn on my home com­puter on the week­ends. But the next time I do any coding on my Win­dows machine, I’ll be trying this out.
