"best" is difficult to answer...

When I'm working on UNIX I use vi (and I don't want nasty letters from the emacs people, thank you)

When I'm working on WinX I use the Open Perl IDE (see the FAQ's) Mike

ConTEXT seems not bad.

As mikelacey says, for WinX, Perl IDE is pretty good as is the HTML editor 1stPage. Since perl is a text file, you can use your favorite text editor keeping in mind the platform you'll be installing it on.

VI is the only way to go if you're on a UNIX machine. Most of the complaints I hear about using VI are from those who don't want to take the time to learn VI's power. There's always a better way...

Under Unix system I use XEmacs (And I don't want nasty word from Vi people ), under Win I use Aditor Pro (It's amazing), Jext (but he get a lot of resources). I recomneted Aditor Pro, if you use Win.

Textpad - I know most of the others will have syntax highlighting, so does this, ...

A case of what you know - see unix statements

I like EditPlus for windows, still looking for a good Unix editor (besides vi).

Context on site (free editor!)

It can be used for other languages aswell, like java, html, ...

vi on the Unix side (keep the faith, Mike ;-) )
UltraEdit on the M$ side(with an open command prompt window).
