So I will be doing a workshop on programming for the biology
department at my university and I was wondering what would best
suit the users.
The following are a must:
support windows & mac ( the more consistent between the two
the better)
free
no large install footprint, preferably simple install
procedure (running on laptops)
syntax highlighting
straightforward to use
anything else is a bonus.
Whats your experience with what you use?
Many thanks

Textadept [1] matches your requirements.
I found it lightweight, responsive, and easy to use&extend.
I'm only on Sublime Text [2][3] because it's shinier.

[3] Depending on your definition of free (libre vs beer) it might
also qualify
