jEdit anyone? http://jedit.org/
Open-source, customizable, hackable, extendable, good community, responsive developers, lots of plugins, multi-platform, etc...
True, it's slower than BBEdit (since it's written in Java) but it's also more open, if that's important to you.

that pain, but i think they should have a better mechanism for that.
why should i have to compile somthing for every language? i should
be able to write a language description file, like vim has perhaps, and that is that.
a few other exchanges on things like that lead me to beleive their
locked into their code base now.
i love the program, and i buy every version, but i do miss some of the
aspects of open source development. i still wouldn't give it up because
i like it much better than any other editor that has ever existed. :)
i'll have to see about this CVS tool thing. i'm dubious.
