EMACS. It's not so much an editor as it is a religion.

Download it here, if you dare

Wordpad is part of Windows
Crimson Editor - I like it for editing program languages

I'll add my support to Text Pad. It's a nice piece of software.

I'm still using Notemaid. I don't think it has been updated in 10 years, but so what- it's a clean text editor, doesn't need bells and whistles.

I love TextPad. It's not free, but there's a full featured demo that nags you to register. It costs about $30, and it's worth every penny.

EditPlus is my recommendation

Supports extension, HTML, built-in brower and it is very fast. Small footprint. I use it everyday. It isn't free, the cost is $30.

For anything remotely complex (as a person that does some system scripting), I like the syntax hiliting from SciTE.
