I like Notepad++ under Windows. I was wondering if there are some similar ones for Ubuntu? Or just the powerful and convenient one in your opinion.
Features that I like are:
- syntax highlighting for language X
- theme support
- line numbering
- code folding
- regex style
- Powerful, yet not resource-consuming

I would think gedit would be perfect. It is on Ubuntu by default, is easy to use, and can be extended with plugins.
That being said, since notepad++ is based on scintilla, scite is probably worth checking out. Scite is based on scintilla as well, though as fred.bear points out, it might be less feature-rich than you need.
Here are a couple more:
jEdit
jedit - A plugin-based editor for programmers
vim / gvim / cream
gvim or cream - VI IMproved, with optional VIM macros that make the VIM easier to use for beginners
