Microsoft has released a lightweight editor that you can use to edit not just your classic ASP code but also any other programming languages you can think of. And if it doesn't support it out of the box, you can add the support through an extension.
https://code.visualstudio.com/

I have been using it for a few mins (lol) and it is light, meaning it opens and loads quickly unlike Visual Studio that feels like it is loading 10 programs at the same time.
It is free. Check out it out guys and let me know your feedback.

I've been using VS Code at work since early in the beta, and it's my new favorite code editor. I stopped using Notepad++ and Sublime Text, I haven't really felt the need to spin up VS proper in quite some time.
Best part is it runs on my Mac, Linux, and Windows laptops. Hell, it doe wonderfully on my Win tablet too. smile
