Sublime Text 2 is one of the best cross-platform code editors out there. Given the fact that my work needs me to shuffle between all the three platforms Linux, Mac OS and Windows, I always prefer code editor that looks and feels same on all these three operating systems. And apart from the looks, the functionalities offered should also be same. And this brought me to Sublime Text editor.  There are many other choices available, but I settled with this!

Update - Sublime Text editor is now in version 3. Find out how to install Sublime Text 3 editor on Fedora / RedHat / CentOS.
