IDEA is also a very capable HTML, JavaScript, CSS and XML editor.

The latest version (7.x) has built-in support for Groovy and Ruby.

You can get plugins of varying sophistication for other languages too.
This support ranges from simple syntax-highlighting only to more complete
support including refactoring and code inspections. I believe that the
C++ support is quite advanced, though I've never used it.
