My favorite editor for Icon is Gnu Emacs for Windows Version 20.3.1
since it's free and it comes with color syntax highlighting already
defined for Icon. It is also extremely easy to write and debug Icon
programs from within the editor with output going to an emacs window.
In fact this is by far the fastest and most interactive Icon
programming environment that I've encountered so far. It is trivial
to define function keys to compile and execute the contents of the
buffer - the nticont/execute cycle.
