i used to use TextPad (www.textpad.com) on windows; you can do lots of
user-defined keybinding things to make it behave more like emacs, and
there are many user-contributed syntax definitions and other add-ons
available for free.  it's not as infinitely configurable as
emacs/xemacs, but it's fast and quite usable for web development.

i tired jedit on os x, and found it to be much too sluggish for serious
use, and now use a 'real' x11 xemacs.
