I personally like SciTE best (http://www.scintilla.org), but it has no
class/function list. (However, you could expand it to do so, its open
source. Or, pay the developer $300 to add a function list ;) because
scintilla is really a cool product. Requires GTK, though. 

Note that the default settings are a kind of downer, open the "global
options file" to see what is possible.
