I'd also recommend (to others) trying ViM for Windows (gvim.exe). While there may be a slight learning curve for folks new the the vi-mentality (command-mode vs. edit-mode), the effort up front is well worth it. Not only can you get language-specific syntax highlighting, line numbers, and multiple undo-buffers (@damon!) but you also have access to an entire community of user contributed plugins such as...(drum roll)... the vim integration for accurev at http://www.vim4accurev.com. Ok, so maybe this is a shameless plug for my own contributed plugin. Though, I do believe we should all choose editors and tools that fit not only our experience but also our personality. That being said, if you haven't tried ViM, I challenge you to ;) Great suggestion Chris! I’d also recommend (to others) trying ViM for Windows (gvim.exe).

No more counting lines!
