As someone who spends most of his time in VS.NET I often times desire a nice lightweight text editor. While VS.NET is very powerful, it also tends to fall over when you have a solution with a reasonable number of projects. As I read about Rails, one of the things I often hear is how much people like working with TextMate. Apparently it's a pretty kick ass text editor. It's one "flaw" is that its an OS X only application. I heard a rumor (I don't remember what blog) that the folks over at Intype are creating a Windows text editor that's inspired by TextMate. If it lives up to the hype, it could replace Notepad2 as my preferred text editor in Windows.
