A capable and fast programmer's editor.
It's capable and fast, but not being able to disable the recent files list is a killer for me.

Portable only, but it has an installer so you can easily
right-clickand open files in it.

A straightforward and capable Windows text editor which also has a portable version.
This seems like a nice daily driver for little things. I shouldn't replace Geany with it though since I want something cross-platform.
It's really stupid that it doesn't have configurable shortcuts unless I want to compile it from source.

Geany is a GTK2 (GUI) text editor which is light and featureful. Here is a sampling of features from their about page:
- Syntax highlighting
- Code folding
- Symbol name auto-completion
- Construct completion/snippets
- Auto-closing of XML and HTML tags

Call tips
This is a editor that does such magical things as use control up/down to skip paragraphs. I love it for in-page bookmarking, code folding, search-replace, escaped-replaces and regular expressions for selections, documents and groups of documents.

I also (sometimes) use Leafpad.

A text editor / notes management thing.
While pretty awesome, it's really really not for me because of some fundamental ways it thinks about data. I'll continue to use Geany with a bunch of text files.
