After a few years of trying different editors I find that it is more
efficient to just stay with a simple text editor. Maybe it is because I
no longer need templates to get started, and because it is more
practical to do everything in one application.

PHP is available for all platforms and it is pretty easy to use.
ASP(now ASPX)/.NET offer a lot more functions built-in, and has certain
nice features when it comes to the windows platforms.

Personally I like the database driven model. You store all metadata in a
database and make lookups for every page. The disadvantage as mentioned
is that it is near uncacheable. However, a combination where you
preprocess the most frequently visited locations could help.

In my experience these platform make use of a lot of proprietary
technologies making it difficult to change platform later.
