1. Notepad++
About:
Notepad++ is a free (as in "free speech" and also as in "free beer") source code editor and Notepad replacement that supports several languages. Running in the MS Windows environment, its use is governed by GPL License.
Based on the powerful editing component Scintilla, Notepad++ is written in C++ and uses pure Win32 API and STL which ensures a higher execution speed and smaller program size. By optimizing as many routines as possible without losing user friendliness, Notepad++ is trying to reduce the world carbon dioxide emissions. When using less CPU power, the PC can throttle down and reduce power consumption, resulting in a greener environment.

2.UltraEdit
UltraEdit's text editing features make editing lists and columns an intuitive experience, not the exercise in tedium it used to be. With features like multi-caret editing, column/block editing and multi-select, it's a simple text editor when you want it to be, and a multi-cursor power editor when you need it to be.
The environment you work in is a personal thing. And with UltraEdit's deeply customizeable new menuing system, your perfect in-app menu awaits. Our brand new menu allows you to switch between a full ribbon, compact ribbon and menu/toolbar system, all with only the buttons you'd like.
Themes:
Choose one of our core themes or try our beautiful user-contributed themes to get UltraEdit looking exactly how you'd like it to. Take it a step further by modifying your theme or creating a new one from scratch, then contribute it back for the rest of our users to enjoy.
