Good text/code editor

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...

Or reread the thread. Everyone who dislikes vi is bitching about the same thing.

Earth to >>90, Earth to >>90, please wake up >>90...
