Eclipse when writing Java - you can kill an ox in 6 seconds with the refactoring tools ... unfortunately coding anything in Java is like killing an ox - there's a huge carcass and a funny smell when you're done

notepad++ for everything else (HTML css JavaScript erlang) - fast - light weight - tabs - syntax highlighting

+1 for Eclipse. Then again, I use Eclipse for nearly everything, just because it's what I'm familiar and comfortable with. So even if I'm coding Groovy or Scala or Python or Javascript or Perl, more of than not I'm using Eclipse.

I agree with the fact that Eclipse is excellent for Java, and unusable for anything else.
