I have one word for you: Emacs.  And yes, it exists in Windows. (The official
Windows port has caught up to the main thingy, v. 21.2)

<tip type=software author="swiderski jonathon isaac">
If you like your software monolithic and all-inclusive, Emacs is surely the way
to go.  By no means small -- the tarball, even GZipped, of the source of v21.2
is over 19 MB -- Emacs includes just about everything but the kitchen sink and
the operating system (though it does have a shell mode).  Ports exist for
everything from Linux to Windows and about 40 or 50 machine types, including
DECstations and VAX.

If on the other hand, you like your software light and small, try VIM ("Vi
IMproved!").  Binaries are in the range of 700k (no, really).
