Many developers prefer to use a simple text editor instead of a specialized development environment, for reasons of simplicity, general code viewing, and the speed with which a file can be edited.
EmEditor is a text editor for Windows that has been adapted for developers, adding specific programming-related functions to the simplicity of a normal text editor.
Some of these functions include text highlighting, custom syntax and interface configurations, an integrated file browser, macro support, and the ability to add new features using its plugin system. Supported languages are HTML, ASP, PHP, Javascript, and VBScript, among others.
All of this makes EmEditor an intriguing alternative to traditional text editors.
