My favorite text editor is actually an old Version of MS Word that I used to use when I did lots of web-stuff. Big advantage over Wordpad was in the much more powerful search/replace. My current PC came with Word 2000 installed, and for some #$^%$&% stupid reason they have tried to turn the $&^* word-processor into a web-browser - it interprets all HTML and shows you what it would look like in a browser, rather than letting you actually see and edit it as text.
(Why on earth would anyone want their word-processor to act like a browser? More MS stupidity, trying to make every program do everything, rather than letting each one do its own thing and do it well!
)
So now I have to use Wordpad, at least until I get around to finding an install CD for Word 97, at which time I will uninstall Word 2000 and replace it with the old one. (I also hate all of the autoformatting junk in Word 2000 - what a time-waster, on the very rare occasions that I use it instead of Wordpad I have to keep undoing stuff that the &^$^%#& program goofs up by guessing what I would want rather than just doing what I say.
)
Err, umm, how did I get up on this soapbox?
