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...

>>60 it's not the age; it's the interface. The interface for both Emacs and Vi suck shit. We've made great strides in usability that simply have left emacs and vi in the dust.

Sorry, the mindset that something is 'for dummies' just because it's easy to use is retarded. The easier something is to use, the more productive you are, the more enjoyment you can get out of the task you're trying to do -- instead of trying to remember is it meta-ctrl-a-k or is it esc v-wr4xw.

Vi and emacs both get in the way of what you try to do, which is what sucks about them. We've progressed to where we have tools which are both powerful *and* easy to use.

It's time, as I said before, to relegate vi and emacs to the dustbin.
