Flash develop is an open source coding platform that can be used to create flash.
It is also useful for many other languages and as a replacement for notepad.
Here is a demonstration i did for web design and why flash develop is superior to the basic notepad.

The video makes it look to be easier than codeblocks and easier to organize. :)
But my one concern is: is it a free program? or do you have to purchase it?
I ask this because we don't have enough money to buy much for the community.
But i think it's a good idea though.

the problem with programming programs:
the ease of use is inversely proportional to the price. If it's so simple a cave...no, not going to use that one...that a 4 year old can use it, only Donald Trump and above can afford it. If it takes a super-genious to figgure it out, it's free

Ease of use also tends to be inversely proportional to the quality of it's output.
Actually, after watching that video, I can't help but wonder if it's related to Notepad++, as it shares many of the same features. Notepad++ is free, and I use it for most Windows development other than C++ (for which I use DevStudio).
Notepad++ supports more languages, but I hadn't noticed any code completion. It probably does have the ability, at least through one of the many addons, but I haven't gone digging for it. I find the double click word selection makes copy+paste a good enough alternative.
