Comments and Reviews
This editor/IDE is great. It's the only one that has linting/autocomplete for all of the languages that I use (TCL/Tk, Python, Bash Scripting, AutoHotkey and Perl). Never had any problems with it, no crashing, is stable as fcuk.
It is a commercial product, but well worth it in my opinion.
Freeware Good tabbed Notepad.
Has some Merge features seemed to work on a simple line basis.. would like to see that more developed, but it could be helpful.
