Not having experience with emacs I can't speak to this.  I use VIM for 
most of my text editing.  I posted about the Notepad+ after finding it 
because others have had concerns about their users converting binary 
text files.

As for PFE, I haven't had a chance to play with it much but it is very 
user friendly, user configurable and will do some IDE work.  You can 
even create templates based on source extension.
