gvimportable on win32 (xp)
because a few years ago I started customizing it to suit my needs, and
now it's gotten so much of a habit using all those shortcuts, that I
cannot (and will not :-) work with anything else

it's portable, and registry free, so nobody (admins and the like) can
complain it leaves junk on their systems
