I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this,
I'm extremely happy using Bluefish on my Linux machine for webdesign scripts(html, php etc) But can anyone recommend a free Windows equivalent. "Bluefish for Windows" is not happy as I'm running and need the latest gtk, and Bluefish doesn't like it.
