...you see, Kate handles syntax highlighting for all the above. I occasionally will load a page in NVu to see how it is laid out but almost always go back to Kate for further development. On the Wintendo side, I pretty much stick with either HTML-Kit or TextPad. Both are excellent editors.
You guys haven't seen a text editor until you've at least test-driven jEdit (http://www.jedig.org) for a month. It does everything Randall's does, but with a very fast, intuitive and contemporary interrace. The plug-ins let you browse Lynx-like, chat on IRC, monitor your logs real-time, correspond through e-mail, write and run scripts in a terminal, record/store/playback macros, create or edit webpages (with source formatting, code highlighting and support for more programming and scripting languages than I even knew existed,) with auto-completion, intelligent whitespace, folding, tree navigation, projects-based file management and more... It's Java based and I can attest to the fact that it looks, feels and runs identically on every platform, at least the three I've run it on. To many, it is considered *the* "programmer's editor. It was designed by programmers for programmers, primarily, and has a very large following and active community... which is why there are so many plug-ins available. I can't recommend you take a test-drive highly enough... and I am *very* picky about editors. My 2 cents, Carl PS: and I use it every day!
