UltraEdit32(!!!), back in 2003 (lolz?).

No need for that either since I've wrapped my head around emacs not long after that.

Generally I'll try to overcome any rough edges and short comings in FOSS alternatives before giving up and call it "savings" and "FOSS advocacy".

For postgresql for example squirrelsql for the most part seems to have me covered and even netbeans (out of the box iirc) and eclipse can highlight and execute scripts when configured.
