jEdit is a mature programmer's text editor with hundreds (counting the time developing plugins) of person-years of development behind it. While jEdit beats many expensive development tools for features and ease of use, it is released as free software with full source code, provided under the terms of the GPL 2.0. jEdit is written in Java, so it runs on Mac OS X, OS/2, Unix, VMS, and Windows.
