Absolutely!  And here's a couple more to try out ;-)

UltraEdit is an excellent editor that I've been using for over a year
and I'd recommend it to anyone doing programming.  Syntax highlighting
(of course), very comprehensive search & replace, FTP file open &
save, and as a bonus it does hex editing of binary files as well!

EditPlus seems pretty good too, but I haven't been using it that long.
