Textmate alternative? for Windows

I love Textmate but its only available for Mac Os X.   : (    That is the problem for user like me use Windows as main OS. By the way, i tried to search a powerful text editor to replace notepad and dreamweaver.

I found 2 softwares that almost simillar to textmate. not 100% but yeah.

1. Intype - intype.info

Current release - 0.3.x. Sitll alpha.

Free

2. E-texteditor - e-texteditor.com

Current release - 1.0.24

Trial for 30 days. Full version $34.95

Quick review

Interface

Function and Preference. - I prefer E.

setting

Bundle - E offer more. But you don’t have to worry about xhtml and css. Both included.

setting

Speed - intype load faster than E. I feel intype more lighter than E. E-text editor takes some time to load.

Theme - E-text editor gives more preset theme and more option to edit the text color, bg color, gutter and more… while intype just like 17 preset themes and it is not editable.

So which one is the best?

If you dont want to invest some money. Just use intype. It is good enough to handle css, xhtml, js or php. Else just buy E. Its worth i guess.

    Use Notepad++ or Aptana Studio. Open Source and free also. =)
