It is so strange nobody mentioned NotePad++ and Sublime Text. Sublime Text is the most powerful text editor for the languages you mentioned and more like PHP, JavaScript and so on. You can install a lot of plugins to enhance the editor like clicking on color hex to turn it into that color, closing HTML tags and one of them is extremely cool where you write ul.mylist>li*5>a and hit tab it will create an unordered list with class mylist with5 li and an link inside each. This is just one of the plugins. You can see it at  Emmet.IO

 

Main features can be seen in Sublime Text website. http://www.sublimetext.com/ You can immediately see the powers of this great editor. The ones I like is multiple highlight (pressing Ctrl and start clicking on the editor where you want to edit or highlighting one term and pressing Ctrl+d) then editing once. The other feature I like is the use of RegEx when searching. For example, you can search for \\r to select all lines from the end and when clicking delete it will put them all in one line.

Beside using it for coding in HTML, JavaScript, CSS, SASS, PHP and SQL, I use this editor to convert excel lists into arrays in less than15 seconds!

That's a question that largely depends on your own preference. Some people (myself included) opt to use plain text editors.

Sublime text, Notepad++, Aptana studio, and Eclipse are good examples for that type. I personally prefer Sublime Text for it's ease of use, lightning fast response, huge number of plugins, and many other options.

If you prefer WYSIWYG (What you see is what you get) editors, then I'd recommend Microsoft Visual Studio for the web (the express edition is free).
