editor

We've all seen in-browser rich text editors, which allow you to edit colored/styled text in a WYSIWYG manner. But what about code editors, which automatically highlight code based on language rules as you type? Think Eclipse in a textarea (but without the refactoring support).

Do such things exist? I imagine scaling would be a problem - larger files would be difficult to edit efficiently.
