It is a bit more primitive than kate, but loads very quickly, and knows about the syntax of a good variety of languages, colouring the text in a useful way (you can of course turn this off if it doesn't turn you on...) It is in the ports collection under /usr/ports/editors. Gedit is the GNOME equivalent of kate, but it is also slow to load.
