If you're using a mac then I must highly recommend TextMate ( http://macromates.com/) as the best text-editor I've ever used. It has full syntax highlighting but it's real power comes with "snippets", code blocks you can program yourself. For example I can type "if" and press tab and it will automatically change to if ($var) { } whilst pressing tab again highlights to each variable or block allowing you to overwrite it. You can write your own which makes it incredibly powerful and there are hundreds built in for all sorts of different programming languages! I've been using it for around a year and a half now and have never had any problems - it's also very cheap in comparison to other editors. If you're using Windows, then someone wrote a port of TextMate called E-Texteditor which can be got from http://e-texteditor.com/ - again very good (not quite as good as TextMate) and allows you to use the snippets and bundles from TextMate which makes it good in a development environment with multiple OS's.
