Me too using jedit... Even though i've been using gnu emacs for quite some time i think that jedit has all the features i want from emacs with added ease of customization. Currently i am using the latex jedit mode with the sidebar and it really shines. The c-c++ browser of jedit is adequate too. The multitude of plugins is amazing and one more really important thing: On linux with the latest version of java (mustang) the font rendering in jedit is amazing. I could dare say it blows freetype away for sure. Smooth fonts and delicate hinting. Fun to edit code i must say !
