Text editor Notepad++ has syntax coloring, word completion, code "folding"... all kinds of nice stuff.

And you can use the same editor for XML and Python scripts (And the C++ files when the SDK gets here). That's a bit of a plus.

Hope it helps.

Thank you for mentioning this utility. It is great. It even caught a mismatched xml tag when I hit "save". I didn't even have to wait until running Civ to find the error.

Decent bit of freeware called "Context"

I've used it for JAVA,c++,Python.TCL,...
I haven't used it for XML yet.

Eclipse is clearly the superior product. Besides being free of charge to the end user, it is open-source and fully extensible.

And it includes most, if not all, of the aforementioned features.

Yes, it is nice but do you realise it's an entire framework?

Comparing it to Notepad++ is like comparing the military to a gun. It's way overkill for just editing an XML file or two.

jedit is also excellent. Plus, it works on all platforms

Dude, most people don't want an IDE for editing python/XML files, they want a text editor with syntax highlight and (optionally) tabs.

And parentheses matching, block folding, and auto-indent.

But besides all that, what have the Romans ever done for us, I ask you?!?

I use SciTE for most of my simple programming (http://www.scintilla.org/SciTE.html).
