Publisher's description of Crimson Editor
From Ingyu Kang:Crimson Editor is a professional source editor for Windows. This program is not only fast in loading time, but also small in size (so small that it can be copied in one floppy disk). While it can serve as a good replacement for Notepad, it also offers many powerful features for programming languages such as HTML, C/C++, Perl and Java.
Version 3.7 features drag and drop text editing, reduced memory footprint, unicode support, and saving project workspace whenever there is a change in project tree.

Version: Crimson Editor 3.7
"Search and replace text in all open files in an instant!"
Pros: This is a terrific text editor for just about anything. My favorite use? I like to lasso a group of HTML files and load them all at once in order to use the Find & Replace function to make changes on all open files at once. It's lightning fast!

Version: Crimson Editor 3.7
Pros: I'm very demanding about my source code editor, and Crimson Editor beats all others hands down. The product is everything I ever wanted. Its fast loading, looks quite ok and supports a large number of languages. But what really makes it a winner is its Macro ability, which is slightly rare in a freeware editor.
Cons: None according to me.

Version: Crimson Editor 3.7
"Pretty good, but PsPad is better"
Pros: It's a pretty good editor, I used it for a short while, then found a replacement
Cons: Templates;
No auto-completion; no auto-closing char (brackets, quotes, parens, etc.)
no Find matching bracket (paren, quote, etc.) feature. Try using PsPad - another free editor, found here on download.com

Version: Crimson Editor 3.7
"highly customizable with syntax highlighting for many languages"
Pros: loads fast;
clean customizable interface;
project and file system panels;
templates;
keyboard macros which can be customized and saved; If you want the same keystroke to do different things, you can make different customized macros files and load the file which has the macro you want;
/* and */
{
Tools: Now this one feature nearly makes it an IDE; Short of debugging, it has everything configurable; So to compile your PHP or Java programs, you just have to set up a tool by passing the current file name to the php interpreter or java compiler; You can also make a batch file so that at the press of a button, not only is your code compiled but your browser can be refreshed as well, if you have a web server running; In short, just debugging is not there as yet; Who knows, a quick hack by the author might enable that as well;
}
Cons: none
