I am working on a text editor called AcePad.
Basically its a notepad clone except it uses a rich text box (can read unix new lines) has line counting (Thanks to rogue), nifty looking statusbar (Thanks me :-))), and so on and so on.
Will feature syntax highlighting for php later on.
If you wish to try it out, contact me on an instant messenger service:
http://www.acecoolco.com and I will send you the latest build, I am available until January 5th, going into the German Airforce and will be away for 3 months.
