I used Notepad++ for years but was forced to look for a multiplatform solution when I had to work in three OS environments (Mac, Windows, Linux). I had since discovered jEdit and haven't looked back. jEdit is everything I loved about Notepad++ but is multi-platform with built in SSHFS/FTP client. Perfect for web designers. If you like Notepad++ but aren't working in native Windows, give jEdit a swing.
On a Mac I really Like BBedit much more then notepad++.
