Free Programmer's Editors,ASCII Text Editors
This is the freeware sibling of the commercial Notepad Standard. It has lots of features, and can handle multiple files up to 2GB in sizes, if your memory permits. One handy feature it has is the ability to display a tab for each document you have open under the toolbar, which makes it convenient if you are navigating around with a mouse. In spite of the fact that there is no source code syntax highlighting, it's one of my current favourites. (To get the free version from the above link, click the "NoteTab Editors" link on the side panel.)
Syn text editor Open source Text and Programming Editor
Syn is an Open Source Text and Programming Editor with Syntaxhighlight for many Languages, and some IDE Features, like starting a program (e.g. Compiler) and capture the output, support for Projects etc. Syn is written in Delphi (Version 5, Updatepack 1) for maximum performance, stability and filesize ;-), hence it doesn't require any bulky VC++/VB Runtime or MFC libraries!

Syn supports Active Scripting, this means you can extend the functionallity with writing a Script. If you have written such a Script, or an other file (Autocomplete file or whatever), and you think it could be useful for others, just send them to me or to the Users Mailinglist (syn-users[at]lists[dot]sourceforge[dot]net), and we will add them. Of course, we will give you proper credits. Many thanks to all of you!

Best Open Source Text Editor
Few programs arouse the advocacy that the simple texteditor can. Its the software that we run all the time, and it needs to fit us like a glove. Except when you take off the glove and slap the crap out of someone using an inferior text editor. This category really exists just because we like flamewars. The nominees are of course Vim, Emacs, XEmacs, Pico and Joe. Fight it out for the winner and Vote for the one the deserves it.
