An extensive review of text editors for different platforms is at http://fmwww.bc.edu/repec/bocode/t/textEditors.html It's geared to Stata users but contains relevant information for R users as well.
Personally, I use TextPad for Windows. It has syntax highlighting, regular expression search and replace, selection of rectangular blocks of text. You can run programs from within TextPad and if the output file has been opened it's automatically updated if you submit the syntax again, a very useful feature I found.
