The 35th most popular text editor/IDE on Mac OS X
jEdit is a mature, Java-based programmer's text editor with hundreds (counting the time developing plugins) of person-years of development behind it. While jEdit beats many expensive development tools for features and ease of use, it is released as free software with full source code, provided under the terms of the GPL 2.0. The core of jEdit was originally by Slava Pestov. Now the jEdit core, together with a large collection of plugins is maintained by a world-wide developer team.… More Edit

The only text editor that's intuitive, feature-full and cross-platform through Java. Never breaks character encodings (unlike EMACS) or line endings (like most freewares). Rectangular selections are easily done. Plugins include editing over SFTP, XML + XML Schema (tag completion based on XSD is a life saver) and much more.
I've been a fan of jEdit for a long time now. I started software development on my home and work PCs and found jEdit to be the best free IDE for me. Lo and behold, I switched to a Mac and was happy to keep on rockin' it with jEdit. The plugins available for PHP and web development are solid and make my life a looot easier. My only dislike would be the default syntax highlighting patterns, but those are easy enough to change.
If you ask me, this is the best text-editor. Its easy to use, but its even advanced for more experience users. I use it with HTML, CSS, PHP.
Perhaps my favorite lightweight development tool, when combined with the SVN and FTP plugins. jEdit allows me to work in PHP, SQL, Bash and HTML/CSS with consistent highlighting and has some really great parsers which highlight errors and allow for quick and easy code folding and method browsing. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a simple development editor.
This is my favorite editor, as long as you include some of the plugins, it does everything you want, on any OS, easily. I also love the configurable global shortcuts and the fact that I can copy the settings folder to copy those shortcuts.
I love jEdit. It's quite fast, and it definetly does the job for me. Using it for about 3 years now.
My favourite text editor... when it works :)
This is the editor I prefer to use when on Windows.
jEdit (on my profile anyways) is the open source coding utility. It's one of my favorite lightweight text-editor / coding utilities.
I have not used jEdit in ages. That it shows up on my profile is probably a misclassification of another java program.
