Doing primarily CSS, HTML or Javascript in my editor, my requirements are less about code navigation and more about just being quick and simple.

On OSX I use TextMate, but on Windows I use Intype -- www.intype.info

Intype is a very, very useful text editor similar to TextMate in that it supports three key points:

1. Bundles / snippets 2. Intelligent selections and editing (multiple, rectangle, etc.) 3. Fuzzy search in quick open

Anyone using TextMate knows how important bundles are to one's work flow.

By far the biggest downside of Intype is its pace of development. It's incredibly slow and right now the best version they have is an 'unstable' release: http://intype.info/download/download.php?intype-0.3.1.734.ex...

It's still a very basic editor. As such, they're looking really good project management tools, file watching (refresh on external changes), integration with source control systems, etc.

They have been working on 0.3.5 for such a long time and I doubt we'll see a release of it before the end of the year. Nonetheless, the upsides outdo the downsides by far for me personally.
