Bumping this because I am also looking for the same, I had a mac, loved it, used coda, broke the mac, and now im back on windows with notepad++ and don't get me wrong, it's great software but I'd just prefer something that was more integrated.

I'm a sucker for a good GUI, anyone know any like this? Not dreamweaver or WYSYWIG editors.

Dreamweaver is honestly the best. It gives you a quick insert menu and WYSIWYG view for all the menial HTML nonsense so you can spend more time writing actual program logic. And the code view is really very good. Pleasantly unobtrusive code hint system, syntax validation on the fly, code collapse... About the only extra functionality I'd like would be the split code view from Coda.

I really like PhpED, mainly for its excellent PHP debugging feature. However, it's not cheap.

I like Microsoft Expression Web; if you're a student you can get it for free at Dreamspark. Also, the HTML Live extension for Chrome is pretty good too.

Notepad ++ might not be pretty however, it is the best tool that I use for everything i write.

If you're a serious developer please do yourself a favor and get PhpStorm (or WebStorm if you don't care about PHP).

Vim - Vi iMproved!

Seriously... its my editor of choice on every platform. I have Coda on my Mac, but still find myself using Vim. If you have never used it before it will probably make you pull your hair out. Once you learn it, its the best (IMHO).

Ah yes, Vim. Can't do without it. I wish that Vim was baked into every single text control in the OS.

webmatrix is probably the best web IDE for windows in my opinion, though i hate though how it lacks browsing via ftp

I was in a similar dilemma. I finally settled on JetBrains PHPStorm. I love it. Expression web didn't really cut it for me. Eclipse is just too heavy and bloated. Haven't used WebMatrix.

I use Sublime Text version 2 is cross platform too!

It's fully extendible via Python plugins - although the API is a bit limited at the moment, V2 is currently in alpha and more features are added all the time!

Gedit ofc, supports a lot of code styles and is tweakable + light ^^
