Editor recommendation

Hi folks,

I'm looking for an editor for C#. I've got Visual Studio, but I'd like
something that is less of a full-blown IDE. The main gripe I have with
VS is that it is so *visual* (obviously) with its point-and-click code
creation. Other than that, it's bloomin' marvellous!

I'd like something that does syntax highlighting and code-completion, or
at least /suggests/ what comes next. Also, I would like the ability to
hit a button and have the code compiled into an exe or dll file, and
possibly a debugger. Project management would be an added bonus, but it
isn't required.

Any suggestions?

Definitely take a look at SciTE.

* Cross platform (Windows and GTK);
* Decent syntax highlighting for a variety of programming and
markup languages, and it copes admirably with languages
embedded in other languages (e.g. PHP and Javascript
embedded into HTML);
* Code folding;
* Automatic indenting;
* Menu for launching compilers, interpreters, linters and such;
* Regular expression search and replace;
* Ability to export syntax-highlighted representations of your
source code as HTML, PDF, RTF, LaTeX and a SciTE-specific
XML format;
* Limited form of code-completion (you download an "API" file
which tells SciTE about all the functions exported by the API,
and what parameters you need -- then when you type a function
name, SciTE will help you with the rest. There are API files
for the C standard library, Windows API, OpenGL, Perl, PHP,
several flavours of SQL and a few others available.)
