For people who use more than one operating system I recommend nedit from http://www.nedit.org/ It free and works pretty much anywhere I have tried and has source highlighting for common and obscure languages.

I am an IC designer by day and embedded hobbyist by night (and weekend) and have used all manner of obscure languages and editors at one time or another. Nedit was the first editor that I encountered that could 'undo' after a disk save.

Sadly, I still miss brief (on DOS), the first editor with really good (alterable) key bindings and undo that I encountered.

I only use Linux, but I do use nedit as my preferred editor.

When M$ introduced Windows 95 and my favorite DOS editor would no longer
work, I switched to Linux, (late 1994). I figured If I had to learn a new
editor I might as well learn a new OS.

I found nedit shortly thereafter.
