Linux when working at home, windows when working on my work laptop...

I mostly need syntax highlighting to i do not delete something essential 
(and i have no knowledge of the syntax). No wish/need to change the 
structure, but i need to translate the content from English into Dutch. 
And that is enough work as it is.

Suggestions seen so far:

Linux:
- Quanta Plus (KDE):  http://quanta.kdewebdev.org/
- Bluefish (GNOME): http://bluefish.openoffice.nl
- emacs
- nvu

Windows:
- dreamweaver (adobe)
- emacs
- nvu
- Vbasic

Hmmm.... I see 1 legal alternative so far which is available on both 
platforms (not counting emacs), which is vnu. Any experienced users? Any 
recommendations, things to keep in mind?

I've tried emacs some times, and so far never been  able to remember its 
commands. Probably because i've never really taken time to learn it. 
Never had a good reason to do so. At work its mostly Office (with 
regular attempts to see how much i can do in OpenOffice - and remain 
compatible with the others in office), and no real need for anything 
else. The little bash / code editing i do, i do with vim. Because i can 
use that over just about any type of interface, and its available in one 
type or other on most any unix like system.....


Thanks,

Rudy
