*best* means something different for everybody. If you'd ask me, I'd say vim, 
but apparently, you don't agree with that view :)

The best approach I found to such problems is to simply install and try 
several editors until you find one that you like. Then use that program until 
you get annoyed by something it doesn't do right, or until you find a better 
alternative.


As for actual choices, you can have a look at
gedit
kate
kwrite
emacs

If you want something IDE-ish:
IDLE (assuming it runs at Linux),
Eclipse

and many more (google will know).

emacs and Eclipse are really big systems.
