Notepad++ is a free (as in "free speech" and also as in "free beer") source code editor and Notepad replacement that supports several languages. Running in the MS Windows environment, its use is governed by GPL License.
Based on a powerful editing component Scintilla, Notepad++ is written in C++ and uses pure Win32 API and STL which ensures a higher execution speed and smaller program size. By optimizing as many routines as possible without losing user friendliness, Notepad++ is trying to reduce the world carbon dioxide emissions. When using less CPU power, the PC can throttle down and reduce power consumption, resulting in a greener environment.
This project is mature. However, there may be still some bugs and missing features that are being worked on. If you have any questions or suggestions about this project, please post them in the forums. Also, if you wish to make a feature request, you can post it there as well. But there's no guarantee that I'll implement your request.
You're encouraged to translate Notepad++ into your native tongue if there's not already a translation present in the Download Section. And if you want, help translating Notepad++ official site into your native tongue would be greatly appreciated.
I hope you enjoy Notepad++ as much as I enjoy coding it.

I think this is the best application for editing all PHP, HTML, etc things 8-)
Worth a try :D

I'm using Komodo Edit atm, for the last few months.

I used to use notepad++ but found that komodo has all the features I need and has the ability to create projects. Meaning it'll have auto-completion for custom functions in included files as long as they're in the project.

Although i still say the best editor in existence is VIM, hands down. Even though its a command-line tool, it has way more features and abilities than any other editor for coding and has endless amounts of community plugins. Plus it can run on almost any platform and I can use it through SSH without the need for VNC or x-forwarding.
 
I tried this once it was decent, but I still use notepad. After coding for a while I color code it myself :)

(probably why I have stupid small errors)
