For many Macintosh users, BBEdit from barebones.com is the Gold  
Standard. I've been using it for at least 10 years, and cannot live  
without it.

Highly recommended is the Freeware version, TextWrangler, from the  
same folks. For most programming tasks, It is nearly  
indistinguishable from BBEdit

If I must edit on a Windows platform, I use Jedit

http://www.jedit.org/

Free, Java based, runs anywhere (Window, Unix, Mac OS X, and even VMS)
