I used TextMate for a couple of years but lately switched back to vim. This time I invested in a good vim setup with plugins to fill in places where it wasl lacking compared to TextMate. the config can be found at http://github.com/astrails/dotvim There is a (rather long) README with explanations of what is there and short instructions of basic use.
vi, Xcode, Xemacs, Eclipse, textedit. That's a good start. Depends on what is handy. emacs wins for super-large files (>1GB).
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Komodo Edit (Mac) with the Vim bindings turned on. It's lightweight with some advanced features like code completion and basic project management (find & replace in project, etc).
I finally settled on Komodo as well.
WingIDE hands down if its just python or a ton of python. Emacs for servers and CygWin.
EditPlus because it does what I need and very little more. Has add-ons for just about any language I've every needed to program in, but still simple for all that.
I usually use EditPlus for my notepad replacement as well as any regex functions or searches I need to do.
For any system-based programming, I do everything in Eclipse because it automatically interfaces with my SVN and deploy servers.
These days while on Windows I often have gVim, Sublimetext and Texpad open simultaneously. The minimap is cute, but have never found it useful, still Sublime is almost as snappy as TP.
I used to use jEdit, which is still a very nice editor. And it ran on Mac/Unix/Windows, which was good because I moved among all three systems. But the last I looked (three or four years ago) development had stalled. And I got into a job where I periodically had to SSH to various Solaris boxes and edit on the console, in Vim. I knew just enough Vim to edit config files and simple shell scripts without too much pain.…
For most of the time it works like the best of both worlds, but it's not perfect . You can't use viper-mode in every mode and it's obviously not full vi(m) emulation. Installing the vimpulse.el script (google it) adds a lot of missing vim functionality though.

Other than logs, do you handle text files > 1GB?
I somewhat suspect I'll be unique on this one here. I use nano full-time. I use it because it is simple, it gets the job done, and I don't find that I need anything more. It's true it's missing a couple of features commonly found in code editors. But when I start thinking code folding would be useful, I take it as a sign that this file is getting too large and would be better split. Nano also obeys the simple UI prin…
If Vim wasn't always available when Nano was, I'd still use it. ;^)
