I find myself doing development on Windows, Linux, and Mac. Most of the time this involves working on web applications. As such, I was struggling with finding an editor/IDE that would suite my needs on all of the platforms. I may have found it!

Komodo Edit. This is a free package that runs great on all of the platforms. The one big drawback in the lack of an integrated SVN client. I use subversion religiously, even on personal projects. For Windows there is the excellent TortiseSVN client that integrates with Explorer but I am still left with working at the command line for Linux and Mac.
A common bug I have run into is a security message saying that the application does not have permission to the data folder. The only way to properly identify this message is to read through the installation log file.
I have increased my chances of getting the service pack to properly install by resetting the file permissions where I keep my data. See the screenshot. The key is to replace permissions on the child objects. This is found on the properties of the data directory (or the location of your SQL system databases), sharing tab, advanced button.
