(Free) Text editor on Windows with a folder view?

I have to stay away from my MacBook and will use Windows for a while. I missed Textmate's folder view when editing my r开发者_Go百科ails projects. Is there an editor on Windows with the folder view? I know there is the E text editor. But I'll save a few bucks if there is a free (cheaper) alternative, as I won't stay in Windows for long ...

Go with gVim, and when editing a file you can type :edit. to pull up the working directory, and navigate from there. Also you get geek cred for rolling VI!

Have a look at Komodo Edit. Some people are already using it for Rails development.

Netbeans is full scale open-source ruby/rails-editor with a folder-view. Programmer's Notepad is a very lightweigt open source text-editor, it has a "project"-view (but you have to define the project yourself).

The Zeus Lite programmer's editor has a folders view (i.e. View, Navigator menu) feature and it is also free.

Best one I just found.. "programmers notepad".. It's got different coloring for different languages. (though i always turn that off) and it allows you to map keys.. It also has a hand tree view where you can have "magic folders" that show all the files in a given folder. It is very sleek..

One irk.. to make it so you can have two projects open at the same time, you need to go to options and set the exe to allow multiple instances... I'd have rather seen that as default, but it's easy to fix.

Oh and it's free.

Not that you asked, but bluefish seems to be quite good on linux. Has a similar feel. It's a fast little editor.

emacs has speedbar, diredit mode, other option.

This is speedbar:
