Don’t shoot me, but you can also use the Visual Web Developer 2008 Express edition for web design. Yes, it’s a Microsoft product. But it works well, and is free.

Tried them all, but Scintilla wins every time. It seems to be the the only editor that is fully customisable. Fiddly at first to configure, but the time spent is worth it.

I like TED Notepad (http://jsimlo.sk/notepad/), for its simplicity and large variety of text-processing functions. Although it has no toolbars and fancy gadgets, its arsenal of tools is like a swiss-army-knife for text.. And it's portable, which means it can store it's settings on a USB stick.

Surprised TopStyle has not made this list – It’s the best. If only there were a Mac version… sniff.

I’ve used a few different editors like notepad++, context but have found HTMLKit to be the best for me.

I’m always appalled that notepad2 never gets a mention. For a lightweight and blindingly fast notepad replacement for quick coding there is nothing better.
