I'm looking for a decent Windows editor with solid Mercurial support. I've had some trouble with Notepad++ (the Windows Explorer plugin was constantly crashing). What are some alternatives?

I'm not averse to shelling out a reasonable sum for a worthwhile product.

Please elaborate about "mercurial support". Do you mean this in the context of merging changes from different branches and resolving conflicts? – geek Mar 26 '10 at 15:11
ideally, switching branches, merging and pushing or pulling to an external repo. the ability to switch branches in the editor would be fantastic, although i appreciate that merging may be out of the scope of a editor. – richzilla Mar 26 '10 at 16:11

Have you given a try at Vim Editor?
one good advantage with this editor, we can get many plugins suiting our needs (like mercurial support) and can configure extensively.

I did not try but this page says that Emacs has mercurial support. Here is the link to Emacs for Windows and Linux.
