Or, if you like the combination of text editor and command line compile
& run, look for a better editor.
I still like PFE (Programmers File Editor) a lot. Its the best Windows
editor I've ever found. It can have an unlimited number of files open at
once and provides a fast way to find the one you want, has good text
formatting, good search and replace capabilities, is very configurable
and can run a command line, piping the result into an editor window. Its
very fast as well.
I also use microEmacs - also very configurable and extensible. It has
Unix/Linux, DOS and Windows ports. A major advantage is that easily
configure it to give the same look & feel on all platforms, though the
Windows version also supports the usual Windows short cuts and mouse
clicks. Unlike a lot of Windows editors (including PFE) it supports
regular expression matching for searching and replacing text.

I still use slickedit a lot, mainly because it is so quick and so
quick to load.
