I've tried it once and though the same - looks good, but needs time.

I use JEdit. It a cool editor. Again java. I was working on java project
at some time and quickly became contributor for this editor. Still using
it as it has mighty features. My favorite is that you can run search
replace recursively over files mathcing a glob, searching for an regexp
and replacing it with a beanshell snippet which can acces the regexp
matches as objects. beanshell is sort of an java interpreter (example:
_1.toUpper() would replace the first atch of the regexp with an
uppercase representation). ;)
The editor has good XML/XSLT support.
