I use vim.....
What exactly do you need to edit? Open Office is free and decent.

Textpad's not bad. I use it for coding on occasion, when I don't want to use a full development kit.

Sorry I didn't give enough detail. I'm editing source code. I need one that doesnt add all the gay shit that office does. If it allowed me to jump to line numbers and even display binary information that would be great too.

As a pure text editor, textpad is probably what you're looking for. It's actually made for that, honestly. If you're looking for something more robust, a quick & dirty development kit I use on occasion is called BlueJ.
But go find Textpad and see if it does what you want it to.

I always liked UltraEdit for doing coding in.

I use textpad as well and I think it is freeware (iirc).
Ultraedit is not free and binds a bunch of extensions to it, I didn't care for myself.

Notepad++ or UltraEdit32 are going to be the best choices.
