+1 for SCiTE, which I think I started using after reading Jaime's 
website a few years ago in fact. The Ctrl+D functionality I haven't been 
able to find in any other editor (cross-platform at least), and it 
starts basically as fast as notepad (before Vista bloated it). There's a 
long list of other things I like too.

Of course the newest syntax introduced in 3.7 isn't highlighted yet, but 
I assume the parser can be edited to add them since it's all open source.
