I am coming to Ubuntu from OSX Leopard, where I used an assortment of tools for Javascript and ActionScript 3 development, of which my favorites were TextMate and SubEthaEdit.

I am not very fond of IDE's and prefer simple text editors. I am wanting to hear from others that have migrated to Ubuntu from OSX and have found decent text editors for developing & coding ActionScript and AJAX projects.

Thanks for your input!

Aptana?

Technically, it's an IDE but has a nice text editor since it uses eclipse. But it's geared to AJAX development which is what made me think of suggesting it.

I like Geany, but Vim can be enhaced with scripts that gives it some of the most cool features of TextMate (like Snippets).

GEdit has also a snippet plugin.

I'm using Gvim 7.0 in my php development. I found usefull plugin NERDTree that help to navigate throught files.Also vim makes possible to edit on ftp server. Vim is difficult but it worth to learn it.
