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 :)

On Windows I've always relied on UltraEdit (http://www.ultraedit.com/). It has syntax highlighting that can be user defined. I have no idea if anyone has made a highlight file for Ruby or Rails, but I know there's one for PHP.
It's not free, but certaily worth the price.
