What kind of geek would I be if I ignored an editor thread? ;)

I also like jEdit, here are a few of the reasons:

* Open-source (free as in speech)
* Lots of nice plugins
* Very customizable
* Multi-platform (Java-based)
* Active & responsive developers

Out of the box many people are not wowed, but if you look under the 
hood, and really customized it to your needs, it can do a whole heck of 
a lot. Like many open-source apps, it may require an investment of time 
to get what you are after, but for me it was well worth it.
