Another vote for Vim, though I don't care for the 'g'. ;) Vim
(including gvim) is readily ported to Windows (you know, if you're
stuck using it):

Plain Vim works sufficiently well in cmd.exe and even in the
PowerShell. Of course, cmd.exe and PowerShell don't work so well, but
I digress.

The best development environment is a UNIX-like operating system. Just
saying. It does have a steep learning curve though. Don't try it out
expecting what you're used to. It's definitely not that. To get an
idea of what makes Vim different, search YouTube for tutorials and
demonstrations. If you're a Windows-centric beginner-beginner then
you'll probably have an easier time with an IDE in the short term
though.
