"Komodo Edit is the free and Open-Source counterpart of Komodo IDE.
Looking for a powerful editor without all the advanced functionality an IDE comes with? Komodo Edit is for you. "-ActiveState
The sentences quoted above are taken from the official Komodo Edit website. This app is a beefed up text editor. If you want to work on your HTMLs or Css' (and much more) this is a great text editor.
Komodo Edit is based on Komodo IDE, a commercial product from ActiveState. The later one is a complete development environment for web and cloud-based projects.

How To Install in Debian/Ubuntu/Mint

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mystic-mirage/komodo-edit
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install komodo-edit
Enjoy!
