So I got Ubuntu this week and its my first time having Linux. Its hawt (haven't booted windows in days).

I'm wondering is there any good text editors for programming you guys can recommend? I used to use Notepad++ and VS2008 on windows. I will be using languages like CSS HTML Javascript PHP Python C++ so hopefully theres a editor that supports multiple languages. At the moment I'm using Scite which is good because it can compile and run my code itself though actually writing in it is a pain.

There are tons. Off the top of my head, these are ones I hear about frequently:

vim (cli)
emacs (cli)
kate
gedit
geany
eclipse (IDE)
netbeans (IDE)

There's an excellent sticky in this forum:

Don't let the date put you off, because it's been kept up to date.

If you search this forum for "IDE," you'll find many recent discussions of IDEs and text/programming editors for most every language, experience level, and system capability.
