need a good text editor for windows
I am looking to start to code some shell scripts, php, and probably some other web stuff. Free is preferred. I was looking at rocketedit but I would rather just use free open source if possible. On my Mac I love to use TextWrangler, so is there a Windows equivalent?

For Vista/Win7 64bit

thanks

UltraEdit is all you'll ever need. Hex editor, syntax highlighting, macros, columnar editing...Most stable bundled FTP/sftp client around for almost 10 years that I've been using it. I'm even stuck in the past (using v9.10 or something) and most similar editors just can't touch it for all-around usefulness.
