What I need it:
  1. Syntax highlighting (html/xhtml).
  2. The ability to S&R more than one line at a time (I'm refering to entering 2 or more lines of text into the search field and being able to replace all instances of those multible lines).
  3. Macro recording.
  4. Macro editing.
  5. An option to view the html/xhtml file either within the editor or to automatically load a browser to display it.
  6. Unicode support.
  7. Preferably for Windows but can also do Linux.
  8. Preferably free but will buy one if the program has all the functionality I need.
  9. Reg-ex capability (I don't know how to use reg-ex yet but am going to learn how).
  10. Tabbed editor.

...
UltraEdit for Windows fits every requirement (and much more), including HTML/CSS preview, reg-ex (Unix, Perl and UE style), scripting (uses its own language, though), macro recording / editing, autocompleting, HTML validator, CSS Style editor, unlimited file size, FTP/sFTP editing, etc...

It's not free (around 50$), but you can try it full functional for 30 days.

In text editing is what Photoshop is for image processing....
