Which is the best editor for programming languages?
Now, I have used HTML-Kit (build 292), and it's wonderful to work with, couldn't do without it.
I use it for HTML, XHTML, CSS and JavaScript. Can I use it for any programming language?

Or are there other tools I should use for programming languages? I will soon begin to study C, C++, C# and PHP. Now, I study HTML, XHTML, JavaScript, CSS and SQL. I want to find the best allround editor that I can use for any type of programming language, free or if I need I can buy it.

I have a Windows XP Pro SP3 32-bit, Windows Vista Business, and I will also install a Linux. I want to use this allround editor in Windows XP Pro.

So I can use Notepad++ for C-languages and PHP also? Can Notepad++ handle more languages than HTML-Kit?

PrimalScript, will it alert me when I use wrong syntax and coding for a programming language, and tell me what I did wrong? Like in MS SQL Server?

You can use notepad for all the languages you listed, plus many more with a User defined one also. See the attached image.

PrimalScript will alert you on the wrong syntax and coding, I do not think that Notepad++ will.
