SPUG: The Best Editor...

I mostly edit on Windows, but run on Unix/Linux, and use UltraEdit.  A darn fine
editor with sytax highlighting, auto-indent, ftp, project files and a raft of
other features I haven't gotten around to using.  Shareware, about $30,
http://www.ultraedit.com.  If I could find a comparable editor for Linux, I'd
switch to Linux as my prime machine at home.  *sigh*  (well, that and getting
around to setting up the printer and sound card, but I digress...)
