Nice to read that 🙂

You mean SciTE ? You can use that editor (or any other) in combination  
with  
Cygwin.  
There have been lengthy discussions on this mailing list to see who  
likes  
and uses  
which text editor and for what reason: you can search these threads for  
insights.  
I personally use SciTE because I like it most, but there is also emacs,  
jedit, vi and many others…it’s a matter of taste and comfort, I guess.
