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...

What about those of us who can use both vi or emacs with our eyes closed and half asleep, yet still dislike both of them?

Why do people protect vi and emacs so religiously? They're just tools, and mediocre ones at that. This is pretty pathetic.
