You're looking for Sublime 2:

(Note: I personally use vim, so I'm not plugging Sublime based on any bias.)

Actually, Sublime Text 3 [0] (although in Beta) is quite stable and already has massive support within the community. I was lucky enough to get started with ST in my early days (not too long ago, tbh) and I haven't felt the need for a full-fledged IDE yet and I whole-heartedly recommend it for someone looking to move from (IMHO) bulky IDEs like Eclipse to a more minimalistic editor.

ST3 + SublimeIntel + SublimeLinter and suddenly, I feel like a keyboard ninja. Believe me, for a newbie, that is a massive boost of confidence! :D

Do this support C++11? there's already some days I'm looking a new IDE/text editor with real C++11 support to I switch to. Also, I can change the theme too, right? this black isn't very good to my eyes.

It's just a text editor, so there isn't much to support.

So there's no any text editor with C++11?

Yes you can change the theme.

Sublime is a text editor, so it doesn't offer debug/refactoring or other IDE features for languages out of the box. But you should find plenty of plugins that can help with different things, and it will syntax highlight just fine out of the box. What type of support are you looking for?

Sublime is an awesome text editor. It is not an IDE. Most notably lacking is any project level code intelligence. You can't, for instance, click a method name and go to its definition and this is not easily solved by a plugin. You also can't get intellisense for custom functions. I love Sublime as an editor, but the lack of those two things make it a poor IDE for any project of any complexity.

I'd agree with that. ST seems to strike an almost perfect balance between flexibility and pragmatism.
