most of them are old. I haven't found a great one that I like and haven't found them useful to be honest when developing for dotCMS

Where do you develop your dotcms codes and compile them ?

Well velocity code doesn't compile. 

I develop dotCMS in Eclipse. For Plugins and work on dotCMS core. 

For Velocity I use WebDav and a Text editor BBEdit for me.

How do you develop code in webdav ?, I know that webdav is used for file transfer
You develop dotcms in eclipse I think is it because dotcms based on Java

I have been using Sublime Text 2 for editing VTL files and widgets.  There is a nice syntax highlighter and code completion plugin for it.  

http://www.sublimetext.com/2

https://github.com/ishmaelAhmed/Sublime-Text-2-Velocity-syntax-files

The multiple cursor deal in sublime is what won me over.  However, in the long run, use whatever code editor works best for you.  Anyone can make an argument as to what works best for them, but you just have to try and see what works best for you.  I like vi, sublime, and BBEdit personally, but you might find that using eclipse's text editor works better for you.

After you choose which works best for you, if you want to use webdav to edit all of the code on site(s), then all of your code needs to be in .vtl files that you parse in the containers and widgets.  Then you can hook up a webdav client (sublime has one built-in) to your dotcms instance.  Now you can pull up the vtl file in the editor of your choice, modify and save it back to webdav.  

It really only works well when you have all of your code in vtl files.  On our site we have a mix of vtl files and widgets/contentlets that have the code directly in them.  For the ones that do not use vtl files I either make it a vtl file or I copy/paste from the dotCMS editor to sublime, modify what I need, and then copy/paste back.  A bit of a hassle.

Another tip I can offer is to make sure your vtl files are well organized.  Having one folder with 100s of vtl files will be really slow in webdav so organize them into folders or whatever works for you.

Hope it helps.

If you're looking for a free option and are on Mac OS X, Textmate 2 (which is now free and open-source) has a nice Velocity + HTML syntax highlighting mode that's quite nice.

We're all coming out of the woodwork here.
You can use Emacs/XEmacs as well:

Though I second Sublime Text. I can write an entire program in Sublime Text before Eclipse even finishes starting up.

If you're just on Windows, it's worth looking at Notepad++.  Similar feature set to Sublime Text and it's free.

Yes, Notepad++ is definitely a great text editor. I do all my velocity in it with the language setting set to HTML.

I like it so much I have it running in a wine wrapper on my Mac as well.
