SciTE is a SCIntilla-based text editor / IDE for programming several different languages. It is originally built to demonstrate Scintilla, but it has grown to be a generally useful editor with facilities for building and running programs.

Like many other similiar texteditors, SciTE has colour coding which is available for about 30 languages, including C(++), C#, CSS, HTML, Java, JavaScript, Perl and PHP. Some languages also have code fill for functions. There also is a feature to expand/collapse contents inside braces, making the code easier to read.

A feature that makes SciTE useful for programming is the possibility to compile and run the code straight from the editor.
