The past couple days there's been a thread on the TCPHP mailing list about text editors. Thankfully the discussion steered clear of zealotry. Started out as a discussion of Komodo, which is quite nice but slow and bloated-feeling. I was first excited about Komodo because it was one of the first Mozilla-based products I'd seen. I even bought a license when they started charging.
I have come to realize that, as Matt Sergeant writes, "I change my text editor like I change my pants." Religious wars about text editors are even more pointless than religious wars about operating systems. I use whatever seems the most appropriate tool at the time.
