I would like to get areplacement "general" text editor for gEdit and Kate. Preferablysomething light weight and fast, that can do search and replace andfont customisation. I could put one together myself, but if somebodyalready done this, that would save me some time.

I've done it, but it's not pretty and has more bugs that a bag of 
supermarket economy rice. You might find that the variant of Emacs that 
has an X wrapper will do what you want, otherwise there's probably a 
programmer's editor with whatever desktop you use e.g. Kate for KDE.
