UltraEdit for sure. Too many errors are made by users who imagine that they have mastered the ridiculous over-functionality of vi.
And the flash drive version of UltraEdit is very convenient if you happen to be a travelling consultant.

I use Vim almost exclusively. I'd think Emacs would be more popular.

I use EditPlus3 for most of my larger script/website work.

I use vi for configs and quick script editing.

I guess TextPad should have been in the list of choices. For Unix i always use vi and for windows it is TextPad
