crimson (cedt) has a toggle to *mark* "words" that aren't in the dic or in  
user's dic (a text file)

it has other useful things. a "project panel" (actually projects are  
loadable xml-like files, you can hand-edit the sequence and nesting). or  
can have directory view in same left panel
a folder search (the masks don't seem to work)

remembers cursor (actually beginning of line) locations of files open when  
last shutdown (if that file had split view, cedt goes to last cursor line  
in the lower split.)

append cut and copy. (i'm still hoping to see an append paste someday!   
(-:  )
"column mode" editing/selecting.
you can indent multiple lines if they are selected when you use tab key

10 macros (i use to insert html or css tags)
10 external functions (open in firefox or opera, etc)

the syntax formatting files are text (editable)
relatively good windows file association built in (apepars to be registry  
key writes)
basic word count or similar.
can manaully choose a different syntax formatting (useful to check styles  
in head of html file)

some bads:
dragging text is defective.
the open dialog is weak.
(like all text editors?) cedt takes awhile to line-wrap large files when  
opening
macro recorder, but macro must be rerecorded if you make error.
can't control format of date insertion. (unless i ha'vent discovered where  
that can be changed)

some "huhs"?
"evaluate line". i've tried this command experimentally. it responds with  
a short error message. the help file and website are decent, so maybe this  
command is described there..
find and replace requires quirky tactics.
a few ftp functions (i've never looked at these)
