A couple of things to try if you get some free time (Ha!).
http://www.pnotepad.org/
http://www.contexteditor.org/
I have used context for years, and on my box at work and my laptop have
it set to open .ini, .inc, .pl, and .py intentions. I use a full ide for
php scripts, but sometimes just right click and open with context for
quick changes. A while back when I upgraded my box at home to Windows 7,
I downloaded programmers notepad to try it out. I like them both, but
I'm going to switch to programmers notepad here, just for the python
scripting ability that is available.

Do I need CODE for anything anymore?
I use Code/400 for several things.
1) I register various Windows file types to open Code as the editor.
This lets me use Windows Explorer to locate and edit files like Python,
Perl, PHP and yes, Java.
2) I am used to the Rexx macro function in Code. When I get a .csv file
from a customer and it has a nasty mix of embedded and not-delimited
quotes I write a Rexx macro to make it right. I often do the same thing
for RPG code. Writing a one-time Rexx macro is far simpler than trying
to write a one-time Java plug-in for this programmer.
I won't be deleting Code/400 until I've found a better all-around editor
that I can bind to a Windows file extension (not an IDE). It's not that
Code is the best available, but it's the best I've become accustomed to
:-)
