So I will be doing a workshop on programming for the biology
department at my university and I was wondering what would best
suit the users.
The following are a must:
support windows & mac ( the more consistent between the two
the better)
free
no large install footprint, preferably simple install
procedure (running on laptops)
syntax highlighting
straightforward to use
anything else is a bonus.
Whats your experience with what you use?
Many thanks

I only use vim, including the GUI version when I was on Windows a
couple years ago, but I recently saw this blog post that suggests
Sublime would be a good choice for noobs, who might be
overwhelmed by vim's learning curve and want a more GUI-like
experience:
