I've used nedit for years. Development stopped years ago, but it is open
source, so you can modify as you wish. Is language sensitive and has loads
of setup options. The most useful thing when I started using it was the
rectangular cut and paste, which I still use all the time, though the rest
of the world has caught up meantime. unix environment required, though it
works flawlessly with cygwin on windows. I still prefer a separate editor
/ makefile system, though ides are getting better.

Notepad++ is pretty good (windows), though there are niggles. Jedit is also
worth a look as well. One or both (?) of these has plugin capability and 
both
are in active development.

All quality product, free and open source...

Chris
