[ILUG] good editor with syntax highlighting fo beginners ?

[JustinMacCarthy]

jedit.sourceforge.net is pretty cool. Cross Platform , open source ,
extendable , very fast for a java app.

Mac, *nix , Windows , Sun .... emacs binding etc etc etc

I like to use when I'm doing something on Windows and Linux so I use the
same environment for both.
