I tried Sublime Text 2 but ended up going back to UltraEdit. Appearance, support for regular expressions, and the ability to load large files are my three needs.

Sublime wins it on appearance. UltraEdit is nice with my dark theme, but Sublime is better. However, Sublime lost it on regular expressions. Attempting to perform a search/replace in Sublime on a 55 meg file wasn't just slow, the application crashed. UltraEdit was slower than I'd prefer ([a-zA-Z] to 0 in gVim took 15 seconds), but it doesn't crash at least.
