Agreed.  Scite (or wscite for the Windows executable) is one great editor,
where you can even get context sensitive help with the (freely) downloadable
Borland help files.

Anyways.  Anyone who is addicted to an IDE is either making some (G)UI bound
programming (and is prone to make even the business rules GUI bound) or is
not a real programmer.  IDEs are not a requirement for programming,
especially not for small school projects.  I see no great advantage between
pressing F8 in an editor or IDE or typing make and enter on the command
line...
