If those are your requirements, you must try Geany. it's lightweight (pulls in few dependencies) it uses the GTK toolkit only (version "2.6") it has tabs it has nice syntax highlighting it is noob-friendly it has a terminal IIRC, it has color schemes? It even has nice auto-complete and code browser. It's very stable. (I encounter no crash in several months)
This is the most handy gtk+2 only lightweight code editor I've ever seen.
