Not to start any sort of editor Jihad, but emacs does all the above
mentioned stuff (plus tons more) and it's free.  (Works on NT, too.)

I've tried on three different occasions to learn emacs, but it works so
darned different from everything else on MS Windows that it just never
clicked.

I too prefer using a programmers editor more than an IDE. Lately, I've been
using jedit, which is slow, but has better java support than my former
editor and is Open Source. Anyway, I'd be interested in hearing other
people's suggestions as well.
