Advice requested - text editor

[andrewducker]

I'm running Windows and looking for a notepad replacement.  It needs to do the simple stuff really simply, and I don't really have a massive use for complex stuff.  But it should be able to open unix text files without a problem, do find/replace, etc.  If it's scriptable that's a bonus (so I can do a series of finds/replaces in one go) but not essential.

Any suggestions?

Seconded. I wrote most of the versions of Elgg in Crimson, and it performed really well. Although I've moved to Eclipse for coding (and I should say, haven't coded the bulk of anything myself for over a year and a half now) I still use Crimson for day-to-day tasks. Easy to use and not ubergeeky, while being scriptable and powerful.
