I'm looking for a general IDE or even a text-based notepad like clone that is decent. IT has to support multiple languages and have syntax highlighting at least. What is your favorite IDE or text editor?

I'm fond of jEdit, though I sometimes use gVim.

Still like Netbeans but it is a bit memory intensive.

I like Notepad++ as a text editor. It has syntax highlighting and a lot of other nice features. It also fits on your USB. :)

I use Zend Studio for PHP, Notepad2 for just about everything else and vim on Linux. Of the three, vim is my favorite although it is just a text editor with syntax highlighting support.

Vim is quite neat. Notepad++ is awesome. Dev-C++ "just works", Netbeans is resource hungry and slow :D Huh? Did I say that? I mean, it's great for Java.

Your right it is slow and resource hungry but the newer version is getting better. Often you just need to find a text editor with syntax highlighting and you will be good to go. :) So notepad++ and notepad2 are good choices.

crimson editor is pretty awesome. it even allows for you to add your own syntax highlighting (comes with most popular programming syntax highlighting)

I used CE for a while, but the lack of support for \n in it's regular expressions forced me to jEdit.

I use Visual Studio 2008 for all of my .NET stuff... I've started playing around with Google App Engine and I downloaded Eclipse to mess with that. I've also used JCreator for some of my Java classes. I'm most comfortable in VS2008.
