My pennyworth is get jEdit. It is completely brilliant, fully customisable, 
plugins, skins, you can have your black background (if you really insist on 
giving yourself eyestrain; try dark lettering on a light neutral background 
if your eyes don't like std bright white, as bright lettering on dark is A 
Bad Thing*), and it does antialiased fonts. Runs brilliantly fast on Sun 1.4 
Java, which seems loads snappier and stabler in general than 1.3.
