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...

How about you tell us what is supposedly better than Vi or Emacs. Also the age of something doesn't make it outdated, just recently MacOSX inherited tonnes of code with a very long lineage.

How is VIM (not VI) not quick enough with the keyboard. Everyone else who uses VIM is saying it is fast, then you say it isn't, we'ren saying it fast due to text navigation, fast searches, mode based editting etc, you have provided no evidence of another editor or that VIM is slow.
