APM: Good text editor comparable to BBedit

[Randall Hennig]

I'm looking for a good text editor with an interface and functionality 
comparable to BBedit.
TextEdit is not even marginal IMO.  I would like something that works on 
Windows, Linux, or BSD (non OS X), or just *nix in general.

All of our Macs are going away because they have been costly, and the 
alternatives are just too cheap to pass up.  But we still need something 
that can do powerful search/replace jobs for us and I have not found 
anything that I like.

Perl is fine for repeatable things IMO, but for quick things, or editing 
lots of files continously, inspecting them for errors/anomolies and then 
editing them again and again, a nice interface would be really handy.

Thanks,

Randy
