Textpad replacement in Linux

I have tried bluefish and found it to be good for some web editing stuff but
not overall good for my needs.  I use gedit a lot for simple stuff.  I
recently heard someone speak highly of vim outliner.  Apparently it is
something that plugs into vim and/or runs on top of it.  From what I
understand, if you learn it well, you can eventually use it to do lots of
fast editing/writing/programming, etc.  There is a learning curve with it,
however.  I am actually looking for something like that but more
multiplatform.  I want to be able to move from linux to windoze and work
without slowing down (much).  At least with regards to the application, not
the os...
