No, it isn't free. From the website:

You need to pay for it if you intend to use it; it's not donationware. It's developed by one man, not a big company with lots of resources.

There is currently no enforced time limit for the evaluation.
As good as free then.

I have the full version and paid for it. Im just saying you can download it for free with full feature and no time limit for now if you want to try it out.
Only thing is it says unregistered in the title bar. Ive never seen a nag screen when I had the eval version

Notepad++ for Windows, and Gedit for Linux. Prefer Geany on Linux, since it seems to work a lot more like Notepad++, but the colour schemes always seem to have issues, and I prefer GtkSourceView for my syntax highlighting.

If we're including IDE's: Visual Studio for C++ and .NET, Netbeans for most everything else. I used to love Eclipse, but I didn't even realise how immensely slow it was until I started using Netbeans.

You should really try 7-Zip. I was a die-hard WinRAR fan for the last 7 years or so, until it was forced upon me. It's Ultra compression kicks arse!

I only used WinZip as another example of software you can use for free even after the trial. I've been using 7zip since, well years...

I personally use Notepad++ and Eclipse (against my will). Never heard of Sublime, so I'll check that one out.

Id kill Eclipse with dd

all you'll really be missing compared to an IDE is a debugger.

When textmate stagnated a couple of years ago I surrendered and learned Vim (emacs having been my choice editor before textmate).

I've had my fill of relearning editors. Vim can trace its lineage back to before space shuttles were a thing and there's good reason to believe that it'll be in use until I die. It's been used and is used by some of the greatest programmers in computing history and it's the prefered platform for many 'alpha geeks' so you can expect that important features will be added or maintained. The fact that it's free, open source, and runs on damn near anything is also good. No matter what the future brings I can be sure that my text editor will work.

Vim.

And if I need to use an IDE, I try to find and install a plugin to Vimify it.

[kjordan2001]

vim if I'm editing over SSH.
Notepad++ on Windows.

For full IDEs I'm liking the Jetbrains products right now.

vim is pretty hard to beat, but if I had to choose a graphical editor, I would choose Notepad++ for Windows and Geany for Linux/FreeBSD. I try to avoid heavy IDE's as much as possible. (Although there is a fine line between an IDE and a good source code editor.)

I have no idea why people use vim......you have GUIs, people, use them.

I understand that in quick edits vim is great but it and its horrible keyboard shortcuts are unsupportable.....

I have no idea why people use vi/vim, it's the worst text editor since sliced bread, nano ftw.
