Xint is a cool little freeware utility that makes the lives of developers and normal users alike easier. When I tested xint, I quickly realized one of the coolest features, the code highlighting under (Format > Highlighting). The highlighting feature supports several scripting languages and the most popular would probably be PHP, HTML, C and XML for me, of course, any developer who's familiar with a language will find each option equally useful.

Xint, like the program it's designed to replace (namely Windows Notepad) also features Search and Replace. It can also insert HEX colour codes for those coding HTML.

Overall, it's small and not at all complicated software. 10x better than notepad, so there's no reason why you shouldn't install it and associate text files with it.
