I would recommend Gedit. There was a version of Windows .
I have never used a Mac, but I think Textmate should be the best text editor. When I'm on Windows, I really like the e-Text editor. But later I have to go to Linux (Ubuntu) for the requirement. I was looking for a Textmate / e-Text editor, such as a text editor for Linux.
I found out that Gedith is not bad. Here is my gedit ...
At your request, Gedit already has decent syntax highlighting and Tab. I don’t think that I didn’t have the Project panel, but the Documents List and File Browser are not bad.
Lightweight? Gedith doesn't have many ready-made themes. But you can easily create your own themes by creating basic xml templates for the default themes (in ubuntu 8.04, the default theme directory is / usr / share / gtksourceview-2.0 / styles).
The built-in terminal, Word add-ons, and code snippets are also important to me. Gedit has many useful plugins for this feature.
There was a lot of customization tutorial for Gedit, you might have to spend your time on customization. :)
