What text editor do you use?

I'm looking for a good text editor for writing/editing php, html, and general text files. I would like something that has the numbered lines for debugging and troubleshooting and it would be nice if it had some sort of color coding (commented lines are different color than the rest). I been using DreamWeaver MX text editor but I want something that is a less resource hog.

It's feature rich (including the edit modes/features you mention above), but it's Java-based, so it might not qualify as non-resource hoggy.

TextPad is nice. But I usually just use pico or Notepad.

notepad sucks. I need proper word wrap, and the ability to see more than one file open at one time and to easily go between files. of course this is all in reference to site dev. Replace, macros, markings, and other basic functions are unbelievably useful features. Yeah, i know you can do it in Dreamweaver, and i use that too, but dreamweaver and other sthings like frontpage get on my nerves because i lose control.
 
In the WinXP environment, I use TextPad almost exclusively, except for the rare occasions when I use Word for it's slightly more understandable find/replace

In linux, I use vi or AbiWord.
