I've got a part-timer about to start work with me on a Windows machine on some Rails stuff, and I need to recommend a free or cheap text editor for him to get started on (until I buy a macmini for him).
In particular, I think he needs the project drawer, because there's a heap of files to work with in Rails, and something that has a PHP & Ruby syntax highlighter included.
Sorry for being a little OT, but surely some of you must be recovering Windows types and can recommend something??? I haven't touched a PC in years :)
JEdit is the best thing I've found so far on Windows. Eclipse might work, too, but I'm not sure about PHP syntax highlighting, and it's just a pretty hefty environment.
HTH,
