Well, I've got Vim for that :)  I've also used Programmers Notepad 2,
another freeware editor that is pretty great.

I'm not saying that $30 is too much - I might purchase something like that
for my own use if I didn't already have lots of great open source software
that more than fills my needs (I use Linux at home so there is open source
stuff available to do just about everything.)  OTOH, at work - $30 * 10
developers = $300, enough to send one of us to our LUG's tech conference
(basically a mini-Common).  I'd much rather go to the tech conference than
buy a text editor when there are so many great ones that don't cost
anything!

Yeah - I'd love to see regular expression support for replace in WDSC.
Find using regex is some much less useful when you can't use capturing
groups.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions of editors for large files - I'm sure
it will help others in the future!
