Take a look at Sublime Text. It's ridicules fast and cross platform. The
only problem is that it's not free. You can download it for free and
dismiss a dialog popping up once in a while.

The problem here is when you need to use a couple of compiler switches.
You need a file to put that in, usually a shell script. Unfortunately
that doesn't work on Windows. So you need to duplicate that file for
Windows.
