jEdit, Lord of the Text Editors

After a brief dalliance Sublime Text, I'm back to jEdit. Faster with large files, customizable keybinding, cross platform, truly awesome find/replace and it's Open Source (Sublime Text costs $60).

Plugins:
JDiffPlugin
TextTools
FirstMate (http://www.rutherfurd.net/jedit/plugins/firstmate/)
Minimap
Whitespace
Beauty

Two features I'm missing are next/previous recent buffer, and true full screen (a la Darkroom).

Thank you, jEdit!
