To each his own, my personal preference is Vim with dmdtags. (But NO
syntax highlighting: I find it unreadably distracting.)  Notepad is a
joke, it's not even under consideration, and I will not touch a
heavyweight IDE with a 10-foot pole. Or anything really that cannot be
used via a text-only ssh remote session.

Of course, I understand that most people prefer something more
comfortable... :-D
