Thumbs up
JEdit manages to positively surprise me even after years of working with it, which further improves convenience in everyday use. To me it is just the perfect Programmer's Editor, stuffed with useful features, perfect handling and decent performance. Everything that I ever wanted was already there, big kudos to the developers !

jEdit has been my editor of choice since 2001. Highly customizable shortcuts & macros, indentation based code folding, and loads of plugins make this a MUST HAVE tool for any serious programmer.

Thumbs up
I've used jEdit for years, on Windows XP, Linux, and Mac OS-X. While for Ruby I prefer TextMate on the Mac, for everything else (everywhere else) I prefer jEdit. It sits nicely in size and functionality between simple text editors like Notepad and ultra-function monsters like Visual Studio and Eclipse, while it's plugin structure allows jEdit to have most of the functionality of those heavyweight IDEs. Highly customizable, and recommended.
