PSPad was my primary editor for a long time then I switched to Notepad++ for the folding feature but Vim is my overall favorite.
One thing to note though is that "userfriendly" can actually be broken down into at least two separate distinct categories if not more:
Easy to learn
Easy to use
A guitar is hard for many people to learn but once you learn it it's actually quite easy to use. After all it's been designed to be held and strum comfortably. Vim is hard to learn but once you get going it's so easy to use.
Those who want to learn Vim but have a Vim learning disability should try gVim Easy which helps users wean off traditional GUI editors. No portable version exists at this time though.
My vote went to PSPad For me its perfect. I am currently doing a Computing and IT degree (Open University) And so far this has fitted the bill for every language I have done so far. I tried notepad ++ but found it a little too buggy for my taste. Originally I started off using a non portable program called HTML kit but then found PSPad and was then a happy bunny. I also use PSPad at work to build training packages for SAP in HTML for which I just got an award at work. PSPad rules as far as I am concerned
gVim Portable is a feature-rich and not-too-hard-to-use text editor, and a very feature rich one at that. With gVim you can code, highlight syntax, and do everything else you would expect of a text editor worth its weight in megabytes.
