I use wing.  Wing does cost $ (but they have a freebie).  So why am I willing 
to pay for the use of of editor when VIM, eclipse, and many others are 
available free of any cost.   Because I use it on a daily basis and it is 
simple.  I don't have to recall just how to get something done using a 
special command.  I can write scripts, debug (has a very good debugger), code 
completion, provides project management.  Etc... etc...  The bottom line is I 
like it and I'm not alone there are a large number of pro's using wing.  

But you should fine out what you like by testing the editors.  There is a 
large list of editors available including the latest from Netbeans.
