Code Editor

I want a code editor. A real one, with the following abilities:
  • A decent find + replace dialog, like Geany's, not like Gedit's and certainly not like Eclipse's
  • Natively compiled
    • For speed + low memory consumption
  • Simple ways to customize interface
  • Integration with svn/git/bazaar/etc.
  • A task pane to find all of the TODOs in a project.
  • Simple, one button, compilation (like Eclipse)
  • Hooks to extend with any kind of module imaginable.
  • A GUI editor that doesn't suck (Java ones are notoriously slow and crash the system, while wxGlade and Glade have always been finicky)
  • Ability to cross-compile/package built-in.
  • Documentation shown for currently selected item
  • Quality auto-completion
  • An interactive console to try things in
  • Unittest integration (i.e. during each build)
