I normally used notepad as well, but have been using ultraedit cause of the color coding you can configure in it for my html/php/mysql stuff.. makes things much easier to read when you got hundreds of lines..
jEdit is a java-based text editor with syntax highlighting, smart indentation, code completion and a plethora of plugins you can install to do things like validation, tidying, etc. I use it as my main text editor for c/xhtml/xml coding. A bonus is that if you ever decide to switch PC platforms (win/mac/linux) you will always have your favorite editor.
