I use both .. depending on my mood .. LOL! 1 - I use FileZilla as my free FTP .. can't be beat. 2 - PSPad has clips and some HTML built-in functionality 3 - Notepadd++ has code-folding and runs cleaner/faster Conclusion: I will switch back and forth every year so I feel like I have a new toy.

I couldn't find a better editor overall. Two main problems are missing Code Folding and difficulty in editing very large files (very slow).
