I am looking for a text editor with the following functionalities for php, html and css coding:

code folding
- based on indentation (best example is EditPlus)
- start at an indentation level and stop at the next indentation of same level or level up

Those are the basic I am looking for.
I tried several editors and found them all wanting at some point.

The only one really close to have it all is Netbeans except for the code folding based on indentation.

I read that vim is highly configurable but I'm a bit afraid of the learning curve.

If anyone know of my dream editor, please inform me.

Vim, or Vi IMproved, provides all of the features you've mentioned (and more) at a relatively low performance hit.

I highly recommend the program vimtutor to get you started. It always comes with Vim, and you can run it from a terminal.

I've used Vim for about a year now, and it's saved me loads of time.

There's a wiki, too.

After you pick up on the basics, it's faster than most editors out there.
