Nifty editor

I've been writing code recently and doing a lot of on-the-fly debugging, so manipulating both log files (output) and structured input files for testing. All have different formats so I'd been using an IDE and two bash windows to accommodate my needs.

Until a co-worker turned me on to Notepad++ (yes, I'm developing on Windows). This is a slick little download from SourceForge (Free as in Beer and Speech) and does just about everything I've ever wanted an editor to do but either a) it couldn't or b) I couldn't remember how to make vi do it.
