ide

For those familiar with Windows, I used to use "Programmer's Notepad" and "TextPad".

I want a Text Editor, not an IDE, with the following few features (in no particular order):

Syntax Highlighting
- Tabbed editing
- Projects (groups of files together in one "project" file)
- Spellcheck
- Lightweight - I prefer something other than Xcode.

Updates

I am looking for something primarily for web development.
Must be Free. +1 For relevant link(s).
GUI Based only

Conclusion

I realized that gEdit is available for OS X. I met it back on Ubuntu 6. Something-or-other. We have a winner.

all for input.
