Seeking a great Linux text editor. Suggestions?

I'm experimenting with desktop Linux (SuSE), and am looking for a robust text/html editor to stand in for the NoteTab Pro I use on Windows. I'm seeking:* Good text manipulation - things like changing text case, joining lines, stripping html* Programmable macros* One-click html tagging for things like bolding, centering and adding links* Straight ASCII text only (leaving out the OpenOffice word processor)* Editing functions such as spell checkAny suggestions? So far I've tried out Kate, Bluefish and ActiveState's Komodo Edit. Together, they've got most of what I'm looking for, but I'd prefer not to have to cut and paste from one app to another in order to get both capable macros and decent editing functions.
