My favorite is UltraEdit (with the UltraCompare) option, but at $50, it is overkill if you are not a programmer.
My favorite freeware one is Notepad++. It's missing a few features that UltraEdit has, like sort and compare, but it has the basics, such as syntax highlighting for common programming languages, and the price is right.

Jed. Not for the faint of heart, but if you are switching between wintel and 'nix environments on a regular basis, it helps.
It can also be made to do just about anything you want it to do, particularly in terms of syntax sensitivity behavior.

I've had good luck with VEDIT, though it's not free. It handles text files of any size or line length, and edits binary files too.
For work I have to handle some text files with very long lines (as much as 5K), and most text editors will wrap them at some point like 512 or 1024.

I use Programmer's File Editor. It is no longer in development, but Version 1.01 works great. It's free, small footprint and no install necessary. Only drawback is the lack of a wraparound search function.
