[OT] Good GUI Text Editor

I know there is a religious war over the best command line text editor, so I'm almost afraid to ask this question. But . . .

In OS X I do about 90% of my work in BBEdit. BBEdit is a wonderful text editor with syntax coloring, multiple programming language support, html tools, shell tools, ftp, plug-in architecture, regular expressions, and of course advanced text editing tools. What is the equivalent app in Ubuntu/Linux?

I looked at gedit that is intalled with Ubuntu. At least it has line numbering, text coloring and some basic text editing tools, but is there something that has it all (with a GUI--for the people about to yell emacs)?

Thanks,
Brett
