I think notepad++ already has all of these features and is free. It's been my editor of choice for years.

Notepad++ doesn't have the 'runs on non-Windows platforms' feature, which is a bit of a dealbreaker.

Notepad++ uses Scintilla, the core component of GTK+ editor SciTE, so that basically any non-Windows platform that runs X11 is covered.

Notepad++ is somewhat nicer though.

Sublime Text on the other hand feels simultaneously like a fresh break from the Emacs tradition and like a true gem among the proliferation of half-baked notepad replacements like notepad2 (Scintilla-based, too), gedit or Kate.

It adopts best features from Vim and TextMate in a surprisingly clean way.
