I am looking for a good, small, free text editor for programming. I'd like to use it for editing perl and html. I've been using Editor2, which is way better than the Windows notepad, but not great for programming. There seem to be quite a lot of them. Does anyone have any suggestions? A quick google search gives me:

jEdit
ConTEXT
Crimson Editor
and more...

What's your experience? Alex, what do you use?
