Good text/code editor

Hey
What's a good code/text editor? Something like notepad but that highlights html code, strings etc. And I don't want it to choke on big files like notepad does...

Try writing a book with MS Word. Try laying something out with MS Word. Fact: the goals of the user are often very complex and thus some complexity will have to be accepted.

By modern UI techniques you mean, UIs for idiots.
