AS a long time windows and mac user, prior to OS X and TextMate, my environment for coding PHP and HTML was HTML-Kit which is the most extensible and light environment there is for PC...and it features a project panel much like the project drawer.... it is also quite easy to develop additional plugins for it if there isn't already a syntax plugin for Rails. It cames with a plug-in editor which is quite easy to figure out.

Oh, and it's also Free.

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 :)
