We have TextPad avail. at work. It seems to do more than Notepad and more geared to programming, config files and crap I do than Word (to your mother).
Why don't you start by telling us which editors you've tried, that don't fit the bill. Make it a list and save us the multiplicity of emails that say, "you can do all this with vi/vim/emacs/gedit/kate/beaver/Ted/kedit." Yes, I said Beaver. And it has syntax highlighting. :-) http://www.nongnu.org/beaver/index.html

For those out there familiar with UltraEdit in Windows, I have a questioon. Is there a single Linux Editor that has most if not all the features of UltraEdit?
Partial list of functions:
column or line text selection/editing, search with regular expressions, display/edit in hex, search in a directory tree for a string returning all lines found with filename and line number and line of text, replace in a directory tree a string, use special keystrokes in above two features to search and or replace or add nonprinting characters (e.g. newline), syntax highlighting, custom syntax definitions, word count, file position display (line and column), macros, line sorting, data conversion (e.g. ASCII -> EBCDIC), etc.
