Under windows I use Textpad (http://www.textpad.com) for just about 
everything: javascript, databasic, php, asp, html.  It's very simple, 
but very configurable.

It does syntax highlighting, macros, multiple workspaces.  We've even 
written extensions in Visual Basic to link it into our compiler so we 
can compile code inside textpad.
