    Pass. Like bigmama says, NotePad++ is way better and free. If you want an editor with the file explorer etc as well as a couple of other frills (in my opinion unnecessary but whatever), I'd also look at PSPad (www.pspad.com) - also free. It's inexcusable for someone to consider paying for a program like this, much less consider charging for one.

    roswell: Jarte is a word processor. Please do not confuse a word processor with a text editor.

    This is a small wonder. I'm switching from vim to this after > 10 years on vim; if that's not a compliment, I don't know what is.
    The search highlight feature is indispensable. Configuring custom highlighting for any programming language is easy. With the project plugin and autocomplete, it does almost as much as an IDE for 1/10th of the memory. And it's the (only) viable option to operate with large files.

    EmEditor,
    This is a great editor stable and have many features. However there are better excellent free editor in the net. Like the "JARTE" this one is free and is much powerful and is open source.
