Yeah, they are all relatively slow. Sometimes editors more based on a single coding language like C++ for instance Code::Blocks are better?

You could always google some other ones and search through lists of them: http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2008/05/07/35-useful-source-...

But regardless the answer will be relatively the same. They are all not super great. Personally I used Notepad++ in many cases not because it's most featured but because it gets the job done and it's quick.

I've also coded stuff in regular notepad before even running it into a syntax checking program if I am writing a really free-hand quick development that I know most of what I will need to write. In any case this is never that great of an idea; once you run the code into any syntax checker you'll still probably have to re-run through the code.

However, a community effort to build something nearly as feature-full as vim but with speed would be great.
