Bluefish is nice.  It's a web dev's editor to be precise.  It does html, 
php, javascript and a few other things like that.  I think it's got 
Perl, Python and Ruby. I don't recall off the top of my head if it does 
stuff like c++, C, or Java.  I used it a couple of times to browse 
through some code with a few web applications I toyed with.  Worked OK.  
Don't remember why I didn't adopt it more permanently now.  I remember 
the singing headaches I was getting from browsing code in languages I 
really didn't know trying to make sense of why something was happening 
though.  I don't recommend that at all! :)
