&lt;p&gt;nedit used to be my text editor of choice. I now prefer &lt;a href="http://www.scintilla.org/SciTE.html"&gt;SciTE&lt;/a&gt;; it has more reliable Perl syntax highlighting (I often found nedit couldn't find the end of a string or regexp) and an integrated panel for displaying shell output, so if I'm editing a Perl script, I just need to save it and hit F5 to show the output at the bottom of my editing screen.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;My only slight gripe is that the regular expression engine used by SciTE's search and replace is not quite as advanced as nedit's. But I can always copy and paste into a nedit window for advanced search and replace. (Or just run Perl or sed over the file.)&lt;/p&gt;
