Crimson editor, UltraEdit, Crimson editor, Ultraedit......

Crimson editor - free, simple, ugly icon --> , a bit outdated (last built - sept 2004)
UltraEdit - 1337 features (like FTP, memory editing etc), not free, startup a bit slow.

My vote goes to UltraEdit since it's the "official" text-editor in my office, and very used to it already

Microsoft Word is word processor
Text editor doesn't allow you to do formatting, it just does plaintext editing with some syntax highlighting kind of things.

GetDiz looks more like a text viewer to me rather than text editor.

It is indeed easy and fast
But not quite agree with "no fancy tools", IMO those features offered in advanced text editors are not considered fancy afterall but to speed up work and increase readability

While you perceive those features as fancy features, others might find it useful in doing their daily routines

Just my RM0.02

Word pad is a simple Word Processor, it shouldn't be considered as Text Editor IMO
