ctrl-scroll wheel should control font size
It'd be great if you could adjust the font size by holding down the control key & going up/down on the mouse scroll wheel (like browsers do).

Delay beginning search until user stops typing
Currently you are slowed down in typing into the search box by it trying to find the incomplete string you know will have too many hits. ( you will notice this on a big document)

TextMate Find Next Behavior
I am really missing my TextMate-style find/next behavior. In TM (or any other text editor for the Mac), I can select some text, hit Command+E (which uses selected text for the next find), then hit Command+G to perform a FindNext, without even pulling up the find window. I find it extremely useful on the Mac and sorely missed here.

Instant loading of large files
Support for loading large files instantly, just like Notepad++. Possibly with an additional popup asking the user if its okay to disable undo-history.

Back (Prev) and Forward (Next) Line Positions
When navigating, allow positions Back and Forward. Just a list of line numbers!!! How many text editors DO NOT have this and I do way too much editing of text needing this.

WS_FTP Integration
Integrate with WS_FTP, which appears to have a feature similar to Transmit's drop folders which they have named "hot drop".
I am a daily Texmate/Transmit user on Mac and need to be able to do my devel on windows at times. The Texmate/Transmit combination is extremely powerful, and I'd love to see a similar feature in E. Having integrated ftp/scp is interesting, but I'd much rather have integration with a proven external solution.

Real Time Collaborative Editing
Allow multiple people to collaboratively edit a file in real time. This should behave in a similar fashion to SubEthaEdit.

Make "disable history" an option - for when you work with very large text files (like db scripts)
Sometimes I use very large files (up to 60M) and after having done some deletes they become extremely slow. I suspect that they might become very fast if undo history can be disabled.

Tab tooltip
I often have files with the same name but in different directories. It would be great if there was a tooltip with the path of the file when I hover over a tab. It could also be a 'status bar message' similar to hovering links and seeing the destination url in the status bar of a browser...

Color Highlighting
Would love an option for something like this, configurable perhaps by file type:

Choose Default Browser in Web Preview
Include a setting or preference for the default browser used in the Web Preview panel. In example, for testing CSS3 or HTML5, current Preview does not display as WebKit based browsers.

Redesign to something nicer and more minimalistic?
I am in love with eText. I recently switched from my Macbrook pro to the powerhouse HP Envy laptop.
OSX to Windows 7 has been an "okay" experience.
One of the things that really sticks out to me is the fact that most, if not 80% of all, windows applications I enjoy using do not have aesthetically pleasing appearances.
This results in "just a little" loss of user experience (in my opinion).
eText has been the single most greatest thing I have used on a computer (pc/mac) in YEARS.
Version 2.0 introduces mouth watering features that I have so very…

'Go to File' navigation should exclude excluded files and folders
I have plenty of .SVN folders in my project that I've excluded using the project settings. However, the CONTROL-SHIFT-T 'Go to File...' navigation still finds files in my .SVN folders
