Rich-

I hesitated to mention this (since I figured you tried and didn't like the 
solution), but Vim (http://www.vim.org) does all of the required parts 
(except for the multi file search and replace, and who doesn't have a perl 
script to do that for them).  I also like Vim because you can still use it 
when you are unable to get to a Linux box, and must settle for Windows.
