Padre is getting better, but it's currently not quite up there with Komodo or EPIC.

That said, it is comparable with Ultraedit or Notepad++ at this point, less than a year after the first line of code was written.

With about 30 people actively committing, 35-40 plugins either released or in development, and translations in 20 languages, it is also moving ahead incredibly quickly.

So right now, I agree that EPIC is probably the way to go, since you've used Eclipse already.

But by this time next year it's probably going to be a different story.
