Suggestions for a new IDE/text editor

I've been in search for a good text editor/IDE which is cross-platform and supports Mercurial, Git, or allows me to add in other version control systems.

I've pretty much run the gauntlet on free programs and now I'm willing to buy a license for a good program thats under $100 (I qualify for academic discounts if applicable).

I typically do work in assembly, C, C++, Java, and yacc/lex. I'd really like a way to interface with project shell scripts and makefiles as well. SSH support would be great too.

I was wondering if anyone has suggestions on a good proprietary editor that has version control plugins and is cross platform?

You might take a look at Geany. It's fairly lightweight, supports syntax highlighting for a variety of languages and has a plugin for most popular version control systems.

I looked around a little bit and came across SlickEdit, which I really like the look of.

I couldn't use emacs, as I am a very proud vim user. I'm just looking for something a little more polished than vim or emacs but not quite as heavyweight as Netbeans or Eclipse.
