"Great Editor"
Version: EmEditor Professional 5
Pros
Compared to TextPad, UltraEdit, and even some open source editors like ScITE, I found EmEditor to beat them all (IMHO). EmEditor contains many features, easily customizable, a very easy UI, and a free academic licence too! What more could I ask for?

"Like they said, best text editor ever!"
Version: EmEditor Professional 5
Pros
I love the beautiful interface, the speed, and the plug-in support. I also appreciate having a separate HTML source viewer, and the tray icon is very useful.

"best text editor yet"
Version: EmEditor Professional 4.13
Pros
(1) Loads quickly even on slow PIII machines
(2) Can open multiple documents with it's own tabbing system (like firefox)
(3) Search and replace within files spanning unlimited subdirectories
(4) can configure layout based on file type
(5) syntax highlighting
(6) Regular Expressions option for search and replace
(7) SIMPLE user macro record/execute
(8) more complicate macros for geeky users based on javascript
(9) contains no bundled malware
Cons
(1) isn't free
(2) phones home during trial period
(3) no new plugins have been released in three years
(4) website contains some EngRish
(5) no repository of scripts for users on their site. This would be give it that added value it's currently lacking
(6) the average user (not me) apparently can never figure out how to escape tabbed document mode. (Combine all)

"Great tool!"
Version: EmEditor Professional 4.13
Pros
One of the most interesting product to edit text files (e.g. for PHP, ASP, Java...). It has a lot of interesting features: recognizes a lot of file types, highlighting syntactic words of language in use, and it is completely customizable; there is a kind of "window split" and "window join", and a tabbed management of open files; it is possible to find files in a directory tree containing certain words; supports Kanji and Unicode fonts/characters, automatically recognizes return-type in files (^M, ^J^M, ^J, etc), adapting the remaining edit. It is possible to download and use plugins, and it is possible to write macros.
Cons
It is not a full programming environment :-)

None at all. It's gorgeous!
