Recommend a simple editor similar to Coda

Question

I really like this simple, highly specialized editor also has a very nice interface. Now I'm looking for such an editor available on Windows or Linux. All I found is Komodo Edit, Aptana, DreamWeaver, and of course Notepad who for one reason or another do not meet my requirements (Komodo and DreamWeaver, Aptana bulky and have a lot of excess, Aptana can not normally look for files, Notepad does not have a normal avtocomplete and important - they all look gloomy). Sublime Text 2 similar, but it is far to the normal html editor. Advise something ... :( I would be very grateful. I'm sure many were asked a similar question and found quite tolerable solution. By the way - maybe there is a ported version?

Notepad looks "gloomy"? Weird... And unfortunately, no, there is neither a Windows port of Coda nor anything that is even remotely equivalent. — Cody Gray - on strike, Mar 11 '12 at 05:25

How about Brackets, then? It features a sleek Live Preview in Chrome, too. You won't need to reload pages to see your changes in CSS, HTML & JavaScript anymore!

To me, Sublime Text 2 is by far the best code editor for Windows (also with Linux and Mac versions). Read why at Jammy's Journey to the Perfect Text-Editor.

Multiple Selections to rename variables quickly.
Batch edits with Multiple Selections.
Command Palette for fast access to functionality.
Goto Anything to quickly navigate between files.
Goto Anything to show a function, line or word within a file.
Find and Replace with regular expressions.
Split Editing to edit files side by side, or edit two locations in the same file.
Distraction Free Mode in full screen for chrome free editing.
Instant Project Switch
Cross Platform
Plugin API

You can try Kompozer (a Mozilla project):- http://kompozer.net/

Quoting from Kompozer's site:-

KompoZer is a complete web authoring system that combines web file management and easy-to-use WYSIWYG web page editing.

Or if it is just source code editors, see this list of alternatives:- http://alternativeto.net/software/coda/

This is a nice one. Nothing compared to coda, but it tries to.

Personally, I use code::blocks. It's simple yet powerful, and the user interface is easy enough to get around in. It also supports many types of files.

Before I switched to Coda I was using jEdit. http://www.jedit.org/

jEdit required some tweaking for me to really enjoy it. There are lots of plugins that you can install easily inside the app. If I remember correctly I would add File Browser, Console, and Buffer Tabs. The file browser does support FTP/SFTP as well as local browsing. The console can be placed anywhere on screen alongside your code. I don't believe I've ever tried an autocomplete plugin for it but I did see it exists.

Works on Windows, Linux, and Mac too.
