My text and programmers editor of choice, when working on a windows box is TSE (The Semware Editor). It is small, it is fast, it is configurabel, and since I've used it (and it's predecessor QEdit) for over twenty years, my fingers can do the editing on autopilot, while the brain is busy with syntax and design.
Do you know of a similar editor preferably one that runs on Windows, Linux and OS X (and Solaris ..)
I've tried to use VIM (I know how to use VI even longer thant TSE) but it doesn't feel right.
