I, too, use TextPad whenever I don't want to look up my emacs
shortscuts... I tend to forget them - maybe I should code more often...

vi's the fourth editor I use, always when I just have to make some
simple changes. The third editor is Uli Meybohm's HTML-Editor (obviously
only for my HTML pages for which it is perfect), you can find it at
http://www.meybohm.de/htmledit/ (there should be an english user
interface, too).

That's much like my approach: I use different editors for different
tasks. I prefer to use the (in my personal opinion) best tool for a
given task. Of course that means I have to install much software
(happily I own some really *big* hard drives ;-) ) and try them out to
find a good one, but I've always enjoyed testing new software (and of
course alter it to make it fit my expectations. So I really like open
source or really flexible software).
