I find the Semagic interface just fine, once I turn off the things I don't use. If I want to change permissions or swap icons on a post, I open that panel, make the change, and close the panel again. This keeps it clean and simple, for me.
(Notepad, I use over Word for most things, but I find that programs like EditPlus are simply better plain text editors. That doesn't stop me from using notepad for super-simple things, of course, but it's never my choice for anything more than a "need to take notes right here, right now" typing.)
I like Editplus because it translates seamlessly from a notepad-like text editor into a context-highlighting code-editing development environment, depending on what I open and how I work things. It gives me all the power I need for big stuff, and yet doesn't slow me down for small stuff.
And it's possible there's a free tool that does the same things, but I know, like, and have paid for this one.
Yeah - if I edited code at home (well, outside of Visual Studio) I'd probably want something like that. I don't object to paying for tools I find useful.
