You would finish your programs faster by about 30%. :P

I use Notepad++

If you don't make many mistakes, notepad++ won't really help you much.

just because you have a silly habit of human error doesn't mean some people can't keep track of code in their head without syntax highlighting etc

I use a direct epeen-to-c++ conversion suite.

Eh, syntax errors aren't that hard to notice anyway. The second spring encounters that line you know exactly what the problem is :P

Now if we had logic highlighting the 30% quote would be more correct! I could definitely use that

For lua?

Doesn't sound like it will help much :-)

so the amount of code he's contributed is directly proportional?

NP++ has it all. It has packaged plugins to do anything I desire.

File comparing, fancy searches, insertions and replacements.

Lets me edit files directly over ftp (it does lack sftp support, thanks to lurker for pointing me to a bridge to solve this problem, named Tunnelier).

It has smart syntax highlighting beyond just a list of words - it will syntax highlight php code inside a syntax highlighted javascript block inside a syntax highlighted html file.

Not sure how many basic text editors have regexp searching but I do use it for lua although not directly spring lua, but other lua projects related to CA.

I still find any programming language to be disappointing without access to a nice autocompletion library and object browser. I'm spoiled by C# and Python. I like to be able to start typing the name of a function and see its signature and comments. I like to be able to just quickly request everything that is documented about a class.
