Jedit is amazing. It's like the Firefox of text editors - not the smallest or fastest, not the biggest or slowest, but reasonably quick and very very extensible. I would say that other tools (vi and especially emacs) are also very extensible, but Jedit has no learning curve and fits in well with Windows.
That said, I'm slowly becoming more efficient in vi and it will eventually overtake Jedit for myself.
