I've heard of Epsilon, but never used it.

Back in the days when I actually paid for text editors, my favorite was Multi-Edit (http://multieditsoftware.com/). I remember UltraEdit (http://www.ultraedit.com/) being pretty popular too.

Nowadays, whatever work I'm not doing in Visual Studio is being done in Notepad++.

Speaking of bygone editors, I still have (very) fond memories of using QEdit (later TSE (The Semware Editor)) in my DOS-centric early '90s larval hacking days.

Looks like they still sell it for $45 a pop, I don't think the website (http://www.semware.com) has changed much in the intervening 20 years though. :)

UltraEdit, the TextMate of the 90s!
MultiEdit DOS version was a great tool indeed. looking at the activity of their forum, things are not very lively.
