My Review 

I downloaded and started using Crimson when I was in JavaScript class last year. I wanted a way to write code that was better than Notepad, and it had to be free. So my instructor suggested Crimson. I do not see any cons whatsoever. I know it is called an editor but is simple, not like Netbeans or Komodo Edit. I like how it highlights the code as I write it, and I can have several windows of my code open at the same time. Also I like that I do not have to open my code in the browser and go to the source every time I want to make changes I just go to file | open file and there it is. I recommend Crimson for anyone who wants a free, great operating, uncomplicated way to write their code.

Would you recommend this to a friend? 

Yes

Crimson Editor is a great text editor for Windows. It got three stars in my last review. When I used Windows, this was my text editor of choice.
