I've used SciTE for years. I originally came across it looking for a lightweight, cross-platform editor that had a small footprint, regex replace, and find in files capabilities.

EDIT: just noticed you mention syntax highlight. No love there, sorry.

SciTE [0] does have good syntax highlighting for many languages.

It does struggle with very large files, though.

You are 100% correct. My mistake. I was thinking of something else for some reason. That's what I get for trying to socialize before I've finished my morning coffee.
