What Coding Program do you use?

I'm trying to use Notepad++ to code my .css, .tpl. php.
I've gotten to open the files, but sometimes I can't save (check if another program has it open error).
Other Times I go to my WINscp and open the files from there and it won't open.
If I use regular notepad to open them sometimes all the text in the file is mashed into three lines instead of spread out.

What do you guys use to keep your code orderly while coding for BGA.

P.S: How do I delete my old projects?

NetBeans 7.3 from Ubuntu here. Supports all formats as well as remote sync.
Refactoring, jump to definition and auto-completion are the features I use the most.

I personally like Geany (http://www.geany.org/). It's available on both Linux and Windows, knows most of the file formats and have a terminal included and all classical editor features.

Do any of these programs make it possible for me to have all the files open in seperate tabs, it understands the code (coloring it) and enables me to see the outcome (play now on BGA)?

For Geany:
Do any of these programs make it possible for me to have all the files open in seperate tabs,
=>Yes
it understands the code (coloring it)
=>Yes
and enables me to see the outcome (play now on BGA)?
=> Not sure what do you mean here, but I think the answer is no. You will still need to send your files through FTP before visualizing the result on BGA. Nethertheless you can write a small script that sends all the files through FTP and call it through Geany...

Hi, I am a programmer and I've tried many IDEs and editors including NetBeans, Eclipse and even Emacs. The first two (NB, Eclipse) are very powerful tools but very often run low on memory and are extremely slow. Other editors did not quite meet the requirements I had. Recently, I've discovered an excellent IDE so far: http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/

It has native support for Java, but there are lots of plugins for other languages as well..

Actually I've found a convenient way to do this if you're using Linux : use sshfs to mount your Studio directory in your filesystem and proceed to edit your files just as if they were on your hard drive.
The default timeout for caching is 20 seconds, but in practice synchronization is as good as instantaneous. Of course, to see the result in your browser, you still need to refresh the page but that's all.

Sshfs is really easy to set up :
