Good Windows XHTML/CSS Editors

Alrighty, using Textmate on my Mac at work has officially spoiled me. I need recommendations for good web development text editors for windows, preferably free, but willing to pay of course. I'm looking specifically for code editors, not WYSIWYG. Ideally I would like: built in spellcheck, color-coding for different types of code/comments, interaction with an FTP program if possible, and general ease of use.

Thanks H/A!

    Dreamweaver is a WYSIWYG tool but also has some pretty robust source-editing tools. I used it at a previous job and was happy with it - I never used the design view. It includes tools to auto-publish using FTP or SFTP, refactor page structure (i.e., move pages around your site and have every link auto-updated), and CSS previewing.

    Alternatively, check out TextPad.

    I usually go with PSPad on windows. Good set of features, code highlighting and all that jazz, light weight as far as resource usage.

    Also, you're not spoiled on the Mac until you use Coda. Now THAT is an editor.

    The best free HTML editor out there for Windows, and in my opinion, far superior to Dreamweaver for a pure coder.

    Get that, pop in desired plugins, and go to town.

    I recommend

    CFEclipse plugin, which is for Cold Fusion, but it comes with a very cool Snippet creator that will save you a lot of typing time and can be used in the Aptana perspective.
